A few years ago, we toured the Normandy beaches and looking down on the beaches from where the Germans were positioned, it was almost impossible to see how our troops not only survived but actually succeeded and managed to turn the tide of the war. Visiting the American cemetery and the visitor's center was a very moving experience. Returning to our ship afterwards, our experience was heightened by the fact that Saving Private Ryan was showing on our stateroom TV. I had several uncles who served in WWII, one of whom actually survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Rita's father was part of the US force that fought in Italy,

On Election Day this year let's hope that their sacrifices were not in vain.
