To Do: Remember D-Day



Today I spent the day with hundreds or WWII Veterans who were able to come to Washington, DC and see the WWII Memorial for the first time. 

The program is called Honor Flight and if you can donate they need your help! Our WWII veterans are old and many of them will have few opportunities to see the Memorial again. 

I am also watching the Pearl Harbor movie right now. I remember President Bush told explained that one of his most memorable meetings was the first time he met with the Japanese Prime Minister. He said that his father fought in WWII against the Japanese and it showed how democracies can truly change a country. 

Today President Obama met with our allied leaders to pay tribute to all those who lost their lives this day 65 years ago. 

Thank you for all who serve.
