Yes, I too am disappointed with so few comments...but I am not surprised.<br /><br />Just a few hours ago I was speculating on what will go viral for me and what won't. The Burger King leaving military bases has now risen in less than thirty days to be my most read blog of all time with 10,000 page views, with another 700 or 800 reads today. In contrast, my humble effort to describe the supreme heroism of those boys on June 6th got fewer than 20 reads today.<br /><br />Two other essays have racked up 500 or more page views today, neither of which are, in my mind, as good as today's.<br /><br />But I have written what I thought was pure elegance and they ended up generating not a single comment, so I can't ever guess what is going to prove popular....if I could I would have 10,000 page views every day.<br /><br />Thanks again, my "liberal" friend.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-83628738145742034202014-06-06T15:39:09.882-07:002014-06-06T15:39:09.882-07:00so few or no comments is kind of scary! I can not ...so few or no comments is kind of scary! I can not imagine the Hell our Military, all the forces, went through on That Day, subsequent days and for years thereafter with no end in sight. I have the luxury thanks to these men in uniform of also not being able to imagine a world had we lost that war! I think the secret police would have shut us down long ago and thankful that they haven't (yet!). I have not been to Normandy but went to Arlington and seen mile after mile, crosses all in a row. A testament to those who gave their lives and maybe, for our sins! The celebration of D-Day has become another excuse for a barbeque, another day without reflection of how we got here and who had to die in order to make our lives easy.<br />Timely post today, thank you for your service.Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.com
