The Padre Dalton was an amazing man by all of the things I've read here. I wish we had more of his like in the world.

I spotted VERY little on TV news regards D-Day Anniversary and Remembrance. I feel pretty sad about that and wish people had done more ... todays news is not going away, but our Vets who were there are. I wish there had been more coverage about D-Day and what it all was about and why it was important.

I watched some of some programs on History channel tonight ... one about Omaha landings, and one about Juno Beach landings with Vets talking about things they remembered. I always find these programs extremely powerful, especially with the memories and the old footage of storming the beaches and combat ... and I always feel like I'm being invasive of them to see the interviewed Vets filmed in their moments when they have spontaneous waves of grief, such a deeply personal and private raw thing

I was looking at the barricades on Juno beach and wondering if there were also mines planted all over between them as well (as I figure they probably were)? I forget if thats been mentioned about Juno landings already (sorry)

Karmen.
