OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 6, 2026: It\u2019s the 82nd anniversary of D-Day in Normandy \u2014 the largest amphibious invasion in recorded history, when five divisions stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, and 73,000 U.S. troops joined tens of thousands of allied forces to fight one of the world\u2019s biggest evils. It was a pivotal point in the war.<\/p>\n

And a majority of Americans don\u2019t even know what it was all about, according to the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.<\/p>\n

In a survey conducted years ago, ACTA found, \u201ca quarter of American adults don\u2019t know that D-Day occurred during World War II. It also found that more than half of American adults \u2014 including 43 percent of college students \u2014 don\u2019t know Franklin D. Roosevelt was president at the time of the invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cD-Day? What\u2019s That?\u201d Roper Center wrote in that same time frame.<\/p>\n

No doubt, America\u2019s knowledge of and respect for the sacrifices of the greatest generation have only grown dimmer, in large part because of the socialism that\u2019s being force fed youth in the public school systems; in larger part because of the lack of truthful histories that are being taught in K-12; in equally large part because of the vigorous defense of communism and anti-Americanism that college professors around the nation have used as their foundational teaching tools in the last few decades.<\/p>\n

Once, America fought racism.<\/p>\n

Now, too many in America are embracing it.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be long before D-Day\u2019s heroes are turned into villains.<\/p>\n

If America doesn\u2019t return to a time of teaching the exceptionalism of this nation \u2014 the ideal of individualism, the concept of God-given rights and liberties \u2014 and simultaneously press forth the darkness of collectivism in all its various forms (Marxism, communism, socialism, progressivism, etc.), it won\u2019t be long before the foundations of the Constitution are shaken to dust; forever blown to the wind.<\/p>\n

From the Dwight D. Eisenhower library: \u201cThe invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen of the allied forces west front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

It led to the defeat of sheer, unadulterated evil.<\/p>\n

And thousands and thousands and thousands died fighting against this sheer evil.<\/p>\n

And antisemites abound in America, 2026. And socialism grows in America, 2026. And freedoms are used by freedom\u2019s enemies to enslave in America, 2026.<\/p>\n

That today\u2019s Democrat Party actually embraces and emboldens the very type of evil America fought a few decades ago speaks volumes about the perilous direction of this nation.<\/p>\n
