June 6, 1944

[Dan Shapiro]

I'll be surprised if the evening news mentions it...............

Aww....come on Dan. That was such a long time ago....right? (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

The AHC surely will have something about it!

The Caitlyn Jenner will be considered more important and will receive more publicity by today's news sources.

I haven't heard a word or seen a blip clip yet on TV. It'd be miles over the heads of most Americans today, anyway. Greatest Gen wasn't into drugs and free stuff.

I will call my 'Uncle Ed', today. He was 19 years old, when he landed on Omaha Beach in the 2nd or 3rd wave (1st Army).

D-Day and the Liberation of the Continent of Europe from the Nazis!

Good Bless Our Troops, then and now. I'm considering a trip to the range with an M1 and firing a clip or two in rememberance! We were blessed to have such heros, and leaders in politics and industry who gave them excellent tools for the job. June 6 will ALWAYS be about D-DAY to me!! CC

It was mentioned on FOX to-day!

[CPC]

CBS noted it this AM

[Allen]

Yahoo ran an article on it but with a FOX video and yes the AHC channel has been covering D-Day and all other WW2 events continuously.

The people in France, young and old, celebrate June 6, 1944. The French lost alot of civilians that day too. I am proud to have a Frenchman as a friend. He and his friends do reenactments during the celebration including jumping out of an old C-47. They have restored WW2 fighting vehicles and wear G.I. unifrorms.

On that newspaper, I have one a bit earlier
It covers Admiral Deweys victory in Manilla Bay and Roosevelt's charge up San Juan hill.

My uncle Zane was about the same age when he jumped in with the 101st. He's gone now but I always wear my "Screamin' Eagle" tie tack on June 6th.

My late father was in the 503rd PIR in the South Pacific. Originally they were supposed to go to Europe. I often wonder, if he'd gone to Europe as originally planned, would I even be here today.
