I really hope you don't have to ask what anniversary this is . . . tomorrow. Think about it, June 6th. If you were in the service in WWII you know darn well what anniversary June 6th is. I was not even thought of during that time but my father was a young man old enought to serve his country and that he did. The face of railroading changed dramatically during that time frame with old equipment that should have been scrapped placed back into service as material became hard to find. Men, women, and children all pitched in to do their part on the homefront as the service people from many countries endured some of the worst winters/summers in many years. Countries stepped up to the plate and did whatever necessary for the war efforts. Industries did the same and we all know that the railroads made do with anything and everything they could get their hands on. I hope that as time marches on that we don't forget how important June 6, 1944 was and still is. I am so very thankful that we live in a country that allows us the freedom to do mostly as we darn well please. I am thankful for all the service people both past and present who have given so much to serve this country. The railroads certainly did their part and even allowed many of their people to go overseas and help in the railroading war effort. To those who served and who have "been there" I say "Thank You, I have not forgotten what June 6th was and is." To those who serve now in the same tradition I say, "Thank You too". Let us not forget that our Allies also were there on that dreadful day in June when all H*** broke loose. I say, "Thank You to them also". And lastly but not in the least, I think "Thanks" are in order for the Railroads and the Railroad People for their service before, ON, and during the war effort. You have all made us proud of your service to your country. Thank you all so much.
