Sorry for the typo ... it was 67 years ago ... June 6th, 1944.

I read a prediction that five years from now there will probably not be anyone alive who stormed the beaches at Normandy in 1944. In fact, the story went on to say that "WW II veterans are dying at a rate of approximately 292 a month."

Sorry for the loss of your friend who was there. He was among the "Greatest Generation" to whom the free world owes so much gratitude and respect.
