76 years ago, tomorrow morning, my Grandfather, at age 18, was driving a Naval Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) landing United States soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. He made many trips that day until he was finally wounded. He recovered and was then sent to the South Pacific Islands to continue the war until he returned home.
Thank you to all the soldiers who fought and died on that day, 76 years ago!
We live free because of your sacrifices!

Presidents’ Day was established by the U.S. government in 1885 to honor the birthday date of our first President, George Washington.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream…”
Excerpt from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” Speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial!
