The Twitters from the D-Day sites have begun:

bbc_hampshire #dday65 My best moment today is when a Belgian re-enacter asked for a New Forest veteran's 'autograph' & thanked him for his freedom


bbc_hampshire #dday65 Many people camping at Utah beach for D Day 65. First beach under allied control and fewest casualties at 197

dgjpao #dday65 From where I stand, I have an incredible view of the cliffs the American Rangers had to climb on D-Day. WoW!

Let us pray Obama does well in his speech tomorrow and does nothing to embarrass us... as a nation... on this most significant day.

Your words to God's ear, Buck - I actually erased the snide comment I had written at the end of the post.

I just put my second post up. The "Boys of Pointe du Hoc" speech by Reagan is great. That was my first post.

But even better is the second Reagan speech.
