In today's entertainment-drenched culture, it seems that we're inundated by make-believe heroes — Iron Man, X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, etc. Amid all the pop culture racket, it's important to remember a vital truth that too many of us ignore: that real heroes are living among us, and we must not lose sight of them. They are are our own fathers and grandfathers.
Today is the 70th anniversary of Operation Overlord — D-Day. Take a minute this weekend to watch this short video featuring men who were part of the Normandy landing on June 6, 1944. And listen to President Reagan's tribute to those men from 30 years ago, on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, delivered on the cliff above Omaha Beach — a speech that compares favorably with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. If you can swing it, watch the videos with your children or grandchildren. Show them what a real hero looks like.
