No one cares this is the anniversary?

I fully agree with you Mr. Porter, we owe our liberty to the untold sacrifice of these men. At least we have found a subject on which we agree totally. I was reading a few paragraphs in a French history magazine the other day and came across the story of Robert Capa risking his life to take photos of the landing at Omaha beach, returning to England in a landing craft going back and winding up with only six usable picture because a technician had fried the negatives in a dryer. I am certain that as a photographer you must cringe at the thought. The fact that he risked his life to document the event and wound up with so little was probably a very tough pill to swallow. I guess that merely being alive after that day on the beach was solace though.

While maybe true, I don't think an asterisk should be put on the historical significance of the D-Day landing. In terms of sacrifice and human suffering the USSR suffered the brunt of the little corporal's insanity and that of his henchmen, aided and abetted by the great bulk of all the Germans who, with instant amnesia, declared the minute the war was over that hell no they were never Nazis. That never gets much airplay in the USA that tends to be a little stingy in spreading the “glory of war” to other nations, especially “communsictic” ones. Strange to think that Uncle Joe distrusted Churchill so much he simply did not believe Barbarossa was coming despite British intelligence reports provided him to the contrary.
