trphyhntr Report post Posted June 7 Yeah, I hardly saw anything about it being d day. But I did see a lot on the morning news about it being national donut day. Little upsetting and embarrassing tbh. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted June 7 Ya..... Sort of sad. My old man was in a B-17 over France on D-day. Always break out his scrap book and look at his old pics, documents, etc. this time of year. They were all heroes. Sort of related, but not exactly; I was in London early last month, and it happened to be during the "VE Day" holiday. Though it is not an official national holiday, there was a BIG parade up The Mall Road (road leading directly to the palace). I saw a few American flags here and there as a remembrance and thank you for our country's huge part in England and all of Europe's eventual victory over the Nazi's. Was nice to see the American reference's here and there as they celebrated one of the biggest unofficial holidays of the year over there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catclaw Report post Posted June 7 My wife and I were in Normandy on D-Day in 2002. The museum at Omaha Beach is tear jerking. Huge cemeteries in France and Belgium. Too many lives lost for our freedom 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
