Sadly, I fear that the significance of D-Day will be lost on the next generation of Americans. Without the veterans being alive to carry on its legacy, the connection to the past will fade away... Too many Americans today can't remember (or simply don't know) which countries made up the Axis and Allies. If you can't identify who the good guys and bad guys were, then the sacrifices that were made in the quest of freedom are going to be forgotten.
Eventually, only select citizens, dedicated historians, and the descendants of those D-Day soldiers will fully understand the personal courage that it took to invade those beaches.
