June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of "D-Day", the largest invasion
ever attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning point in WWII in Europe, where the Nazis were engaged in mass murder of Jews and minorities by the
thousands.
Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the
sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy, as do our Presidents....
well, most of them....
In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of
the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument that honors the
soldiers killed during the Invasion.
The occasions were:
1. Barack Obama, 2010
2. Barack Obama, 2011
3. Barack Obama, 2012
4. Barack Obama, 2013
For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the
time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed
on D-Day. Except Obama.
June 6 2010, Obama had no events scheduled.
June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was
interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry -
FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.
June 6, 2012, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a
campaign trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds
for (his) upcoming election.
June 6, 2013, Obama is doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires
in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto CA, once again at our expense.
Aren’t you proud?
I'll send it on.

Enchanted River is found in Philippines . It is called “enchanted” because no one has ever reached its bottom. Many people, including scuba divers, have tried reaching for the bottom but have failed, hence the legend of its bottomless pit. Moreover, locals share that NOBODY has been successful in catching the fish in this river, whether by hand or by spear. They say its bluish color is a result of its depth and the water clarity changes throughout the day. At around 12:00 pm, the water becomes clearer and even more majestic.

Christ the Redeemer Statue overlooking the whole of Rio was pretty special. You could see it from everywhere you went. I also have to say that the majority of the people who lived there,
including the 'natives' (especially in the favelas)
knew exactly who it was and respected it and what it stands for.

The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration.
Each year millions of bright red land crabs leave their burrow homes on Australia's Christmas Island and start a long, laborious trek toward the sea. They descend cliffs, climb banks and maneuver around obstacles to reach the shoreline and lay their eggs, eventually returning to the island's central plateau with their offspring in tow. The synchronized migration resembles a crimson-colored river undulating across the island and can last up to 18 days. The event typically takes place in November or December (the crabs will only move when it's raining)
and coincides with the turning of high tide
and the arrival of the waning moon.
