Happy Flag Day America! On June 14 we honor Old Glory on National Flag Day. This day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777. On National Flag Day, Americans show respect for the U.S. Flag and what it represents. What does our flag mean to you?

I know there have been stories like this one but I wanted to write to share my immense appreciation for Old Glory Honor Flight. Last night my grandfather passed away. He had a significant stroke in March that led us to this point but in November 2018, we had the opportunity to fly together to DC for the first time. This day in November was one of the few memories he retained from the recent past and he regularly looked back at the photos from that day. It is a day that I will never forgot and no words will ever be enough to express our gratitude.

Imagine if you will: You are 18 years old, and you're packed in with 35 of your comrades in a plywood Higgins boat which was designed to operate in marshes and shallow water rivers. You, however, are being moved through rough seas in the English Channel on a cold and misty June morning. The gate is up so you can't really see what lies ahead...but you know. You know that when that gate drops down you will be looking death in the face. You're terrified but resilient. You have a job to do...and by God's grace you're going to do it. Now imagine that you must go through this exact scenario a dozen times on one day. Bob Reeners of Oneida doesn't have to imagine...he lived it. On June 6, 1944, Bob was a coxswain on a Higgins boat for the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Bob piloted hundreds of terrified young men to uncertain fate on Utah Beach. The D-Day invasion was truly a world changing event and marked the beginning of the end of Hitler's "Thousand-Year Reich." Bob is still around and actually participated in Old Glory Honor Flight Mission 1 back in 2009. Bob and his lovely wife, Dot, recently celebrated their 70th anniversary. If you see Bob out and about, be sure to shake his hand and thank him for his incredible service. It's never too late to say "thank you."

Seventy five years ago today, Second Lieutenant, Gilbert Allis, Jr., a Wisconsin resident, was readying himself for Company B, 743rd Tank Battalion's participation in the Operation Overlord invasion of Normandy. He landed as part of the seaborne invasion on Omaha Beach. According to a contemporary newspaper account, the landing craft carrying 2nd Lt. Gilbert Allis Jr. began to capsize after being hit by an enemy shell. He and another soldier waded ashore with a radio. Lt. Allis then began directing fire on enemy positions until he was killed. Lt. Allis was awarded a Silver Star for gallantry. Gilbert never left France. Today he rests at Plot I Row 5 Grave 4, Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer, France. God bless Gilbert and all of the nearly 1500 Americans killed in the first 24 hours of the battle that marked the beginning of the end of the Axis reign of terror across Europe.
