62 Years Ago

From Polipundit:

When the smoke cleared and the Invasion of Normandy was at an end, thousands of men lie dead on the beaches of Normandy, France. The Germans were hit the hardest after the invasion. Over 30,000 men had to be buried, and almost 80,000 wounded soldiers were carried off. The United States was devastated nearly as hard as the Germans. A shocking 29,000 soldiers were picked up lifeless from the beach. One hundred six thousand men were in pain from their wounds. The United Kingdom did not suffer as bad as The United States and Germany. Around 11,000 soldiers were killed on D-Day. Fifty-four thousand British Men were injured. The Canadians had the fewest casualties. Only 5,000 men died during the invasion. This is very low compared to the other countries. Canada only had to care for about 13,000 wounded soldiers.

Thank God today's Democrats weren't in charge of Congress during WWII. Otherwise, we very well might have surrendered 62 years ago tonight.
