This CBS special is one of the most comprehensive documentaries I have seen. Dan Rather and General Norman Schwarzkopf host this 1 and 1/2 hour special. This includes comments of the veterans who fought there--American, British, French and German.

Remember D-DayThanks for the link, Blade.
The only D-Day beach-landing participant I ever knew personally died some time ago. He never brought the subject up...only later incidents on the way to Germany.

Remember D-DayLet's also remember the contribution (in blood) made by our neighbors to the North.

The documentary does not ignore the Canadians.

Remember D-DayI actually do remember it. Typical day on the farm. Had gone to the barn to feed the critters and get the milking done. Heard a yell from the house. It was my aunt (with whom I lived) yelling for me to come back to the house. Went in and the radio was carrying a broadcast from Normandy. The invasion was ongoing. My aunt told me to listen, as I would remember it always. She was more right than she even realized. After 75 years, I do remember and I thank her for her foresight.
And blessings and thanks for those souls who didn't make it home.
