06.06.06...
Today was a regular day for me and the kids.
Regular days are good.
Being 'regular' is especially good.
Routine is a good thing and helps you to maintain your equilibrium.
June 6, 1944, wasn't a routine day though.
It was D-Day.
The invasion of Normandy.
Thousands of lives were given on that fateful day.
Encyclopedia Brittannica has a really neat website about the invasion of Normandy in 1944.
I was especially intrigued by the newsreel entitled "Penicillin and Plasma Saves Lives".
We were very proud of our technology back then.
And rightly so.
You can visit the D-Day Museum whose name has been changed to The National WWII Museum.
Or drop by The National D-Day Memorial Foundation website.
Either way... today wasn't about us and 06.06.06.
Even though we would like to think that it was.
