Kinda sad
Been asking the guys who work here if the date June 6th has any signifigance. Only 2 of the 15 or so had an idea. The young guys had no clue? I spent over twenty years in and still am in awe of those who got through one day

I wonder what the hell they teach kids in school these days..........D-Day is a pretty significant date in the history of the world ,not just the U.S.
and I agree, I am also in awe of the men that went ashore. I would say kids since most were very young, but anybody that did that was a hell of a man.

My 18 year old daughter knows about WW 2 because she used to listen to my fathers stories. I also make sure she knows about it and all other wars and the men that lost their lives.

I am 37 and I know exactly what today is. I know how significant this date is in history and all the great sacrifices that happened this date in 1944. I will celebrate today with an honorary firing of my M1 Garand tonight followed by a cold Yuengling!
God Bless our veterans of all the wars.
