I recently penned a blog about Memorial Day that honored the military men and women who sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedoms.

I return to a similar theme about a momentous military event whose effects we still feel. We celebrate it today, the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landing, June 6, 1944. The invasion of Europe during World War II has become forever etched in our nation’s military history.

This has led to a system that is dominated by wealthy special interests who remain anonymous.
