"Mr. Brecheen was 22 years old on 9/11 and a healthy, able-bodied young man. He could have enlisted that day or in the many years afterward, but he did not. He declined to serve. But more than 300,000 women *have* enlisted since 9/11."

80 years ago today: American and allied forces invade Normandy during Operation Overlord, to liberate France and defeat Nazi Germany. More than 4,400 allied soldiers were killed and more than 10,000 wounded.
