Mike Lacche Boxing Magazine: June, 2014

Welcome to Mike Lacche Boxing, and we all take a moment of silence this month to remember D-Day and all events of tremendous courage like D-Day that allowed the rest of us to live safe, free and pursue our dreams.

The anniversary further highlights the importance of all civilians to continue to honor and remember those who put themselves in harm's way to keep the United States free. See below for some audio readings of WWII and decorated Navy veteran, Joseph "Joe" N. Ermer:
