Did you know that Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I? The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 officially ending World War I. However the battles ended seven months prior when the Allies and Germany put an armistice into effect on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month! #RepublicServicesVALOR10 #VeteransDay #RepublicServices #SustainabilityInAction

Denial isn't a river in Egypt. We are already in a kinetic war, and may as well use both buttocks and commit fully to an end to the Putin regime. Those lands need to become a foodstuff producing powerhouse for the mass extinction to come. The land will also be an easy destination for the many #climatecrisis #refugees, which will be needed to develop it into a true civilization. Under proper stewardship, we could see a nation succeed in transcending tribalism where the USA has come up short.

Just over 80 years ago, Allied bombers destroyed the Benedictine Abbey of Montecassino, one of the most important buildings in European history. The reason given was Military Necessity and its use by Germany for military purposes. Yet this reason was always doubtful, and its destruction was always more a military convenience. It is entirely possible that the attack was little more than a publicity stunt. I have been studying this attack for several years and have now had my conclusions published. Plumes of Smoke is a study of the destruction, its legality and moral reasoning and the efforts to manage the controversy at the time and afterwards. How important is the preservation of our heritage during military operations? It is fascinating to see how little we have learned over the decades when we compare with the events of today.

Lunchtime Flashback: Daily World War News from the Past World War II History: On May 4, pivotal events unfolded amidst the chaos of World War II: 1942 - The Battle of the Coral Sea commenced as aircraft from the United States aircraft carrier USS Yorktown launched an attack on Japanese naval forces at Tulagi Island in the Solomon Islands. This marked the beginning of a crucial naval engagement that would prove instrumental in halting Japanese expansion in the Pacific theater. 1945 - The British Army liberated Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg, uncovering the horrors of Nazi brutality and providing a beacon of hope for those who had suffered under the regime's oppression. 1945 - The German surrender at Lüneburg Heath was signed, bringing an end to hostilities in the Netherlands, Denmark, and northwest Germany. This significant agreement, effective the following day, marked a turning point in the war and signaled the impending collapse of the Nazi regime. 🌐⚔️ #WWIIHistory #BattleofCoralSea #NeuengammeLiberation #GermanSurrender HaJunk - Business Development

Allied D-Day Landings of WWII, June 1944, by Simeon Netchev: The Allied D-Day landings (D-Day is a military term used to designate the day on which a combat operation is scheduled to begin), which took place on June 6, 1944, marked the largest seaborne invasion in history and a pivotal moment in the Second World War. The invasion aimed to establish a foothold for the Allied forces on the continent and liberate German-occupied Western Europe. Allied troops from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other nations stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, in a coordinated assault across five landing zones: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Despite facing heavily fortified coastal defenses and fierce resistance from German forces, the Allied troops managed to establish beachheads and push inland. The successful D-Day landings paved the way for the liberation of France and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany, marking an important turning point in the war. #SwordBeach #Juno #GoldBeach #History #WHE

The purpose of all warfare is to eliminate from the world market from the world market. War must reduce the number of states taking part in world competition and expand the limits of each of the lagging states. An attack on one major power or another inevitably draws all the major powers of the world into the war. Under such the destruction of one of the competitors by military means becomes quite impossible. A war between two major competitors inevitably turns into a war between coalitions of the world's major powers. If we take into account that each of these powers possesses enormous economic and military power, it becomes quite clear that such a war cannot be a war between coalitions of the world's largest states. it is clear that such a war cannot be short-lived, but inevitably turns into a long, persistent and fierce struggle and bitter struggle.

Only a few of the greatest generation remain with us. But 80 years later let us never forget these HEROES that helped save the world and preserve American freedom and democracy! 🇺🇸 U.S. President, Joe Biden, along with other leaders, are honoring them today at the 80th D-Day Commemoration on those same shores and cliffs. I salute the memory and sacrifice of the WWII heroes. D-Day was the name given to the June 6, 1944, invasion of the beaches at Normandy in northern France by troops from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other countries during World War II. At the time, the D-Day invasion was the largest naval, air and land operation in history, and within a few days about 326,000 troops, more than 50,000 vehicles and some 100,000 tons of equipment had landed. By August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and in spring of 1945 the Allies had defeated the Germans. Historians often refer to D-Day as the beginning of the end of World WarII.

Today, June 6, 2024, marks the 80th anniversary of the turning point and ultimate defeat of the Third Reich and Axis powers by Allied forces in WWII’s European theatre. Though some of the fiercest and bloodiest battles were fought during and after the invasion, D-Day marks the beginning of the end for WWII. It seems that so much time has passed that we have collectively forgotten, or minimized, the true importance and impact of this period. The shear faith and force of will displayed by the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied force, a great many who never returned and lie in cemeteries across Normandy, is almost unfathomable today. Though not recognized as a “national holiday” or given a special celebratory month, June 6, D-Day, should always be a day that America recalls not just the sacrifice, but the national will and fortitude to do what is right and stand for the principals instilled by our founders, who knew well the delicate yet strong nature of the nation they brought to life. Pray, then, for an awakening and discovery by our current generations of the strength provided by God to do what is right, what is holy and what is required of us. That at this critical moment in our history, as has been the case over the life of this nation, we respond as other, greater generations have, with strength, moral clarity, unity and faith. #followpursuereach
