by Donna J. Jodhan

On June 06, 2024, I spent time in front of my Television set following the events that marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day. For this year, events were extra special as this was the 80th anniversary, and as I watched, I could not help but wonder how many others, especially our younger generation, were doing as I was.

Eighty years ago, thousands of young soldiers from allied countries risked their lives to save the world! They blundered into battle, not even giving a second thought to whether or not they would ever see their homes and families again. They answered the call of duty and they did so unselfishly, selflessly, and they never asked why.

Fast forward to today and I respectfully ask how many of us could or would do the same?? That was the generation of givers! A generation that is wholly responsible for not just having saved the world! They secured the future of generations to come and we are today because of them!

I can only hope that the majority of us realize and appreciate this! Moreover, I can only hope and pray that we have learned the meaning of true commitment and sacrifice. There are so many lessons to be learned from eighty years ago! Have we learned any of them? Have we taken time to digest and understand them?

Have we taken the time to appreciate, be more grateful, and more humble? Most of all, can we honestly admit to ourselves that we probably have not?
