I am disappointed in our media - I hadn’t heard one mention about D-Day on Tuesday, June 6.
Lest us never forget!
FYI - if you ever are in the area, The Fagan Fighters War Museum has an amazing exhibit in Granite Falls, Minnesota.

Also, stolen from Flapbook, but appropriate:
TimelineTuesday: 6/6/1944, D-Day: thousands of Allied troops land in Normandy to liberate France from the Nazis. Among them is a young Canadian, James Doohan, who loses a finger that evening when a nervous comrade accidentally machine-guns him. (He's also hit in the leg and chest, and only a metal cigarette case keeps a bullet from killing him.) Doohan goes on to become an actor and has an important role in a certain sci-fi series you might have heard of. Look closely during certain Star Trek episodes, such as "The Trouble With Tribbles," and you'll see that Scotty is missing his middle finger.
