June 6, 1944
Sixty one years ago today allied forces stormed the beach and changed the world in what is perhaps the most daring military manuevers ever, as history held its breath.
Their efforts and losses will not be easily forgotten (though it oftentimes seems like societies elites are trying hard)
Steve has a great post up. Read it, then remember this day in somber regard. I'm gonna watch my Band of Brother's DVD tonight, but I'd also recomment Saving Private Ryan, or the original D-Day blockbuster - The Longest Day with a super star cast that included Henry Fonda (his despicable daughter being referrenced above), Sean Connery, Eddie Albert, Peter Lawford, Roddy McDowall, George Segal, and John Wayne.
