Before and After D-Day.

I really enjoyed going through these rare color photos from Life magazine.  The masterfully restored  images from before and after D-Day show a perspective on what things looked like before and after that day.

After watching Band of Brothers years ago and researching my grandfather's time spent as a soldier in WWII, I have a fascination with history at that time.  My grandfather fought at the Battle of the Bulge.   I remember a few years ago sitting around our kitchen table as he told us (his grandchildren) stories of the war.    The greatest generation? I won't argue that.  I am grateful for our troops, and will always thank them for their service.

The color really breathes life into these images.  Today is the 68th anniversary of D-Day.
