 Did we forget that this is the 59th Anniversary of D-Day in Europe?  Shame on us!!

I never forgot....I mentioned it the other day to a female and was answered with " What is that ? " ....its in my head every year........

My wife did know, but she did point out that since we've been together she has learnt everything about every major battle in the last couple of millenia, and a lot about airplanes, especially Spitfires

I remembered, I even had a history final exam on that day.

Canadian History? I have that exam in a couple of weeks.

Did anyone see the big D-Day memorial they built on Juno Beach, Normandy? They just had the grand opening of the Museum yesterday. It mostly deals with Canadian involvenment in WW2 but has exhibits on the other allies and the axis as well.

My daughter was born at 5.39AM on the 6th June 1999 which takes precedence in my mind.  I have to admit that this year I forgot D-Day, a blonde four year old requires a huge amount more attention.

I didn't forget.  Not only was yesterday the D-Day anniversary, but it was also one of my best friend's 18th birthday.  So, I had a couple important things on my mind.

the one who knows what was on june 17th,1953 gets a barrel of sauerkraut!

I'll make an educated guess before I go to Google and cheat.  The date sounds somewhere around the time of the Korean War so I would guess it was the day N. Korea invaded S. Korea.

I remembered it was the D Day anniversary as soon as I saw the 6 on my watch.  Doesn't the national news give it about 30 seconds?

didn't forget, was just kinda busy sorting out my courses for next year

 It was just kinda weird, I didn't see anything about D-Day mentioned in the newspaper, on the nightly news or on the radio.  Even the cable channels like History or The Learning Channel didn't have any programming dedicated toward it,  not even a showing of "The Longest Day".


 And as for June 17, 1953 I think WebbPA was almost right, it was the day the Korean War ended..........


..........or the day Stalin died?

Wasn't there a big uprising in East Germany on 6/17/53.

i still have to find out ,how much it costs to ship a barrel of sauerkraut...okay,also gotta buy the sauerkraut...better not.i've only got 3,35

oh crap....

I've been so busy that for the first time in years, i've forgotten about D-day

Now i'm really depressed
