D-Day Tribute

December 7th, June 6th, & more recently September 11th are important days for our country and days that I hope are never forgotten. Today at Back in Black, we paid tribute to the amazing bravery that took place 75 years ago today: 75 years ago today, really not that long ago in the scheme of things, 150,000 Allied troops began hitting the beaches of Normandy, France.

First, this random guy’s image came up, and two, I saw something that read “Wheel of Fitness. [Read More]
