We look back on D-Day and the other horrific set-piece battles of World War 2 with an air of unreality, through goggles of the omnipresent media&#8230;perhaps the epic celluloid battles against the Sith or the dinosaurs of Jurrasic Park are more &#8220;real&#8221; to us than our fathers&#8217;, or our grandfathers, great sacrifices. As Americans, I believe we cannot look back at D-Day, at the Second World War, without a sense of utmost reverence, a profound sense of the power of good to triumph over evil even in the face of unimaginable pain, suffering and death.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nExcellent post from Michael Bane on the 66th anniversary of D-Day.
