Saturday, June 6, was the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

Those who stormed the beaches and carried out that momentous military operation were actual heroes, not self‑proclaimed, phony “resistance heroes.”

They sacrificed life and limb fighting and defeating actual fascism and real tyrants “over there.” They weren’t performing for clicks on TikTok, pretending to fight make‑believe “fascism” and imaginary kings “over here.”

Many of them were about the same age as today’s graduating seniors when they descended into the hell of places like Normandy.

Never forget the deeds of the Greatest Generation, and never take for granted the unparalleled freedom they purchased for us with their blood and lives.
