STALIN: Doesn't belong in monument

| June 16, 2010 10:00 PM

I was dismayed and disgusted to see the picture of a bust of Joseph Stalin, which apparently is being displayed at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedord, VA., in the June 6 issue of the CDA Press. As far as I can determine, there was not a single Soviet soldier involved in this invasion and I think giving Stalin a place of honor related to this heroic effort which resulted in thousands of Allied troops losing their lives is an insult to those brave men’s memories and shows an unbelievable lack of education and discernment of those who would erect such a despicable monument!
