Yeah, there was no good way to do that. Some landing craft were blown out of the water, others were on fire, all around were guys who went over the side and promptly went to the bottom never to be seen again. And even if you made it onto the beach, your troubles were really only just starting.

The scary part is how much worse it might have been had Rommel been on the job June 6 and had Hitler been awake and released all his reserves.

Last night I was really pissed off, I was done with news so I thought I will go to AHC, History or maybe Discovery and watch a tribute to those that went ashore that day. NOTHING on those channels AHC had something about the Mafia and History had a special about trans gendered aliens visiting earth and having sex with whales.

So I called my dad and thanked him for what he did that day.

I came in late afternoon yesterday, and asked online if anyone had seen ANYTHING, even the mere mention of what the day was...several answered back they had seen literally nothing.
So- its officially been WIPED from being remembered and/or taught from mainstream media.

I'd say that if you asked all the people genuflecting at the alter of Floyd what occurred on June 6, 1944 you would probably just get a blank stare in return.

Doubled

I didn't know there were several years of these. I think I only saw the 1996 one.

TCM showed a D Day movie. That was about it.

I think we should buy the QVC channel and show NOTHING but military documentaries.

Sounds interesting, I'll throw in five bucks on the GoFundMe once you get it started. :)
