Storming The Beaches
There's nowhere near as much hoopla as there was last year, for the sixtieth anniversary, but sixty-one years ago today, in bad weather in the English Channel, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, with huge casualties. They established a beachhead, however, and it was the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi fascism. In light of the recent vote in France over the EU, it might be useful to read what I wrote last year, on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Paris, about the post-war quagmire there.
[Update at 9:45 AM EDT]
David Galernter had some thoughts last year on the hypocrisy and lack of knowledge of the baby boomer generation when it comes to honoring the "greatest generation."

Yeah, WW II, the last war that was worth a damn.
After that, fools in 'the long grave, already dug'.

Some day I hope we throw away the generational stereotypes that Mr. Galernter exploits. My view is that there isn't a generation alive or dead that lived up to the bad things that were said about them.
