The History Channel has been running some great stuff all day.

Yes and politically correct Google strikes again with their lack of respect for America and it's service-men and women by displaying Diego Velázquez as the search of the day instead of a D-Day link.

I don't use Google. Who is Diego Velazquez?

A painter. That's not the anti-american part, just the fact that once again Google chooses not to display any US armed forces related icon/search on their logo link of the day, the same as they did on Memorial Day and many other days of remembrance.

So they pick some obscure painter that nobody outside of an Art Historian would recognize, let alone give a rip about, rather than the most significant event that ever happened on this date. That's just retarded.

One more reason not to use Google.

How many US servicemen died that day? I met an old soldier from E company, 29 Inf Div who told me it was just he and three other guys that made it through that day.
Proud to have been a 29th Infantryman myself, but was not a part of that historic day.
Go Army

Nevermind...misread.

Operation Overlord was a Godsend to the free world.

My thanks to them all.
