Blog Header - June 6, 2009

Today is the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion at Normandy. D-Day. I took the photo in today’s header at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. The photo is of a brass plaque of General Eisenhower’s send-off speech to the troops.

We have so much to thank our military for. And a visit to the National D-Day Memorial will remind you of how much is at stake when our military is involved in protecting our liberty.

I added the "By His Grace - For His Glory," but the actual text of Eisenhower’s speech is inspiring and would be well worth reading for all Americans, but especially for our leaders today.

Read my wife’s blog post about the D-Day Memorial.

  1. I enjoy seeing your blog header change daily.

  2. Thanks, Gale. The regular header changes force me to pay attention to my photos with an eye for what may work in a horizontal cropping with very little height. It gives me a tiny creative challenge. (And it allows me to play around in Photoshop, which I really enjoy.)
