So disappointed in NPR / PBS for NOT giving D-Day even a few minutes, yet several of the programs they did were 'fluff' (not of immediate relevancy). 'filler' material)
so... I did a bunch of reading / research on D-Day and learned a lot! We had visited Normandy in 1993, and it left a significant impression on ourselves and our teenage boys. Many of the docents were veterans, and they spent hours with our kids. The stories and appreciation were meaningful.
Definately take a trip to Normandy if you ever get a chance.
There’s something like less than one percent of WWII veterans alive today. History fades away. And also this month the Battle of Midway was fought in the Pacific in 1942. A battle that turned the tide of war against the Japanese. Didn’t hear about that one either in the media.
