D-Day 65th Anniversary: Black Conservatives Discuss

World leaders like U.S. President Obama, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy today paid tribute to the thousands of Allied Forces troops who died during D-Day landings at a memorial service in Normandy, France. Bookeristas react to the speeches, and to D-Day itself:

Juliette Ochieng, a conservative Republican blogger and military veteran in Los Angeles metro, writes that D-Day has no greater love: "D-Day plus 23734. Could we do it again? Could we sacrifice for the freedom of others? Yes, of course; that question has been answered already. But the number who would do so has grown smaller. That's okay. It's part of the flow of history."

That Darn Republican, a conservative in Los Angeles, writes on Twitter: "Let give what our own president's [sic] lacks in candor toward our military for those who laid it down of foreign fields of glory on D-Day".

Rosita, a conservative Republican in New York, writes on Twitter: "Thanks to EACH & every soldier who died 4 my freedom. My heart is heavy with sorrow as I see my freedoms being stolen from me."

On U.S. President Obama's speech, she writes: "Dear Obama your speech tells me clearly you think u r more important than the heroes of D-Day ....Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

On French President Nicolas Sarkozy, she adds: "Thanks....Sarkozy....your speech was the best and most moving for me".
