I'm not sure where to post this, and maybe its not even appropriate. But, somehow, I feel it needs to be said.
A lot is being said about today's date, 060606. Mark of the Beast and all that. But is also the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944.
I remember that day. The biggest headlines ever in our local paper. A day of joy and sadness. A bright opening in war-weary years. I remember the wail of a neighbor woman when she got news of the death of someone, her husband, son, I never knew. Women holding their breath when that military sedan appeared on our street. Churches being open for prayer.
It just reminds me that the guns we have so freely, came at a terrible price. Never forget that.
Sorry if I got a little maudlin there.
