chaos1921: sport516: thereisnocondemnation: A large percentage of our country doesn’t know of, or care about Normandy. A few weekends ago, British artist Jamie, accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes into the sand, representing fallen soldiers. Titled The Fallen 9000, the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of those who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide. 9,000 Fallen Soldiers Etched into the Sand on Normandy Beach to Commemorate Peace Day. What is surprising is that nothing about this was seen here in the U.S. Someone from overseas had a friend who sent it with a note of gratitude for what the U.S. started there. Please share with others who understand “freedom is not free – nor has it ever been” Nothing to add.. speaks for itself. Uncle of mine, is there. Meanwhile, here in the US President Trump has been blaming AntiFa for all the troubles associated with the Black Lives Matter protests. I believe AntiFa is short for Anti Fascist. So if AntiFa is bad, then Fascism must be good. I am pretty sure I can find a whole bunch of Jews, Poles, French, and others who would have a severe argument with that bit of logic. -- source link
