“A little while ago I visited Omaha Beach for the second time in my life. In the intervening 26 years, nearly 20,000 tides had come and gone and little remains visible of the greatest military landing in man's history of endless warring. What's to be seen is mostly in a superb museum and a panoramic cemetery. The cemetery memorializes with dignity and grandeur the event and the dead, and moves one deeply. Before they die less precipitously and/or in lesser purpose, Americans who can should visit World War II's Normandy Beach. Such seeing and remembering helps a man's perspective.” MenWorldShouldYearsLittlesWarHelpingRememberMovingPurposeDiesGoneSeeingMilitaryEventsPerspectiveDignityRemainsEndlessBeachWar Of The WorldsVisibleMuseumsWorld War IiTidesWorld War IGrandeurLandingCemeterySuperbInterveningNormandyOmahaGreatest MilitaryOmaha Beach Author:Malcolm Forbes

“Because I didn't see war in Iraq through the partisan lens that seems to dominate a lot of the perspective today with Fox News on the one side and MSNBC on the other, I didn't see it as Democrats good, Republicans bad. I saw it as a situation where the United States is a force that engages in these military operations around the world, and it's the job of journalists to provide the American people with information they can use to make informed decisions.” PeopleWorldWarTodayDecisionSituationMilitaryPerspectiveRepublicanDemocratJournalist Author:Jeremy Scahill
