To Put Things into Perspective. . .
These 9,000 bodies stenciled on a Normandy beach will break your heart
The seaside town of Arromanches, France, looked quite different over the weekend. Nine thousand silhouettes were hand-drawn in the sand on the Normandy beach to commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died there during Operation Neptune on June 6, 1944. This stirring tribute, called "The Fallen," was conceived by British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, who enlisted the help of 200 volunteers to mark the International Day of Peace over the weekend. It took two years to prepare for the project, and the results, which were ultimately washed away by the tide, were heartbreaking. "All around us there are relics of the Second World War, but the one thing that is missing are the people that actually died," Wardley said. "We've very quietly made a big statement." News link

There are no words for what they did for the world.
Bless them all.

Thanks for posting that, ms_t. Freedom is precious, fragile, and very expensive. Thanks and prayers for all those that have sacrificed for it.

...evil & tyranny prevail when good men do nothing.
War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mills God Bless those who have served or have given their lives to fight against tyrants, despots and dictators.

We must honor what they have done for us and the world, and never let freedom perish.
From the looks of things, we have our work cut out for us!
