To remember the 50th Anniversary of D-Day during World War II, the City Of Chicago sponsored a Commemoration Service followed by a re-enactment of the invasion of Normandy at Montrose Beach on Chicago's lakefront.

I was given a pass to this event by Mr. Sig Sakowicz, a public relations director, who could not attend. He told me that this would be a once in a lifetime event and that I should get some great photos. He sure was right about that aspect of the event.

This spectacle really opened my eyes to what our brave fighting men faced on that fateful day on June 6, 1944. It made me appreciate even more, the freedoms we have thanks to these great soldiers.
