Today marks the 65th anniversary of D-Day, the beginning of the end for Germany as US, English, and French forces landed and secured beaches in Normandy, France.
One veteran who was going to attend ceremonies in France lost his passport in Chicago when a taxi cab drove away with his luggage which also contained his passport. He was originally from Chicago and was here for a short visit.
A Chicago alderman and his Congressman from California intervened to get him an immediate replacement one, so he was able to continue on his way.
I am surprised that no station showed "The Longest Day." However, I did watch documentaries on Wake Island, D-Day, and Pearl Harbor on the History Channel.
The Greatest Generation. We Salute You.
