Today is the 74th anniversary of D Day, and I didn't find anything in the news or TV schedule about it. 

 

Many thanks to all WWII veterans, alive or dead, and their families and friends.

Thanks for posting this.

 

I cannot fathom the bravery these young men must have had to be able to storm the Normandy beaches. 

Thanks so much Hat for the recognition, typically I have an in depth topic regarding D-Day but I got way behind on my duties, and I am on the road, thanks for bringing this up.

I hope you don't mind, I edited in a link to Ron Dudelston's topic last year for D-Day.

Thanks Hat for remembering and the post. Like you I saw nothing on the TV news or even in our newspaper today. I did hear one radio station during a news break make mention of it just a little bit ago, but that's it.

Like Lew, I can't imagine the courage and resolve of each wave of men landing on those beaches on that day.

No worries. We're brothers in service!

This is what got me this morning - Almost everyday, MSN has a "This Day in History". D-Day was not mentioned! The of the battle of Midway was, but not D-Day. This had a separate article, but nothing on This Date in History. 

Full media press here:  paper, radio, TV.  Bravery and a Sargent's boot sole emptied those boats!  And some kid with a gold bar that got to be first.
