Operation Overlord: Kick 'em in the Axis
We didn't run an article today on the 62nd anniversary of the invasion of Normandy and we certainly heard about it. A letter writer:
I could not believe when I read today -- June 6, 2006 -- the News & Record and did not see any reference at all to it being the anniversary of D-Day. This should have been front page headlines! How sad that our paper does not even recognize such an important day in our country's history.
We knew it would come. We -- and our wire services -- pay most attention to anniversaries that end in 0 or 5. But, of course, the newspaper coverage of D-Day now comes tomorrow because all the festivities occur on June 6. We'll have something in tomorrow's paper.
My dad has a Purple Heart from WWII. I care; I promise. He'd still kick my butt if I didn't.
