In case you missed this column last year, here it is again. (Check out links to President Reagan's speech honoring the heroes of Pointe du Hoc and also a reprint of a retrospective by David Oman)
Trump would call Dutch a chump and a loser. My father, at 19 years of age, was in D-Day at Utah Beach, defusing mines on beaching obstacles (under German fire) so a second wave of LSTs and LCIs could land further up the beach at high tide. My father and Dutch were courageous and honest and humble men. Trump is a coward, a bully, a narcissist, and a liar. His presence at any D-Day observance is a disgrace.
Thank you for remembering Dutch and the sacrifice of so many young men who fought to defend freedom. We need to honor their lives each and every day.
