D-day, 79 years ago. Lest we forget.
« on: June 06, 2023, 11:21:49 AM »
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Interestingly enough, when CBS radio broke into their programming, the first reports of the landings were coming from intercepted German news broadcasts.

It wasn't until several hours later that communique number 1 was released.

And they made the trains run on time.  From the ghettos to the camps.

Lest we also forget that June 4-6 was the Battle of Midway.

Stopped Japanese expansion dead in its tracks, and it was all backwards for them from there.
