D-Day 82 years later – June 6th 2026

COMMENT

They are/were (not sure how many of them are left) the Greatest Generation. The term was applied not by them but by those who followed and recognized their accomplishments. They were the generation that put careers, politics, and eventually even prejudices aside to overcome a common foe.

Read the letter below that Gen. Eisenhower sent out to be read just before the troops departed for the D-Day invasion. Pay close attention to the last two paragraphs. Those are the words of a true leader, no politically correct crap here. Today is a day of reflection, a day of remembrance, a day we can honor the men and women who took part in the events of D-Day. Can you imagine the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying or writing that last paragraph in 2026? Sadly, we are a nation that has forgotten our heritage and is paying the price.

We shall NEVER FORGET.

By Allen West|June 2, 2026

French families still salute the English Channel in WWII uniforms. American campuses chant for terrorists. LTC West takes 25 students back to Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

Separating the Americans from the America-Haters

In remembrance of D-Day, watch a video of Julius recounting his experience aboard a ship landing on the beaches of Normandy.

#MafiaDon installed a #SCotUS that has given him Carte Blanc to commit crimes with immunity, and he's taking full advantage of it.

He said he'd "Only be a #dictator on #DayOne" (as if being a dictator is something any non-#Fascist Potus would EVER think to say as a positive), but (as I predicted) once he gave himself that power, "He'll never give it up." #TheLongestDay #DisasterPresidency #DictatorDon #OrangeHitler

A favorite: some of the original ANTIFA leave a landing craft and head for shore at Normandy, France, on 6 June, 1944.

Some of the original “antifa.” Facism can not take hold in this country. Alotta men died just in the ranks of the U.S. armed forces during WW2 (just over 400,000) trying to make sure that would never happen. And Ike, as I’m sure many who see this here will know, would be considered a RINO by “today’s GOP.”
