D-Day Anniversary

Today I'll be streaming the audio recordings of the reported landings. They are quite revealing -- some of the earliest reports were from monitoring German broadcasts, who apparently were aware that a major event was taking place.

It's sobering to listen to these recordings and to consider the sacrifices made that day.

"Greatest Generation" doesn't start to cover what they did.

Thank you, Zorro!
