Well today is D-Day when we remember the landings at Normandy and the troops who fought and died in the greatest amphibious invasion in history.
As the generation that fought this battle and their children die we tend to forget what was done that day. We have only the history channel and movies to remind us.
In my youth it was The Longest Day. It was played on D-Day every year on some UHF network.
Notice a young Sean Connery in his pre-bond days, in fact this was the last movie he was in before Dr. No.
Today for a later generation we have Band of Brothers episode.
Remember just as the minstrels kept stories alive in olden days so are films the modern day minstrels that will remind a generation of the greatness of their fathers.
As for my own D-Day I have been told conflicting things. I was told a few months ago that this would be the last week of my unemployment. Yet the last time I was at the office a couple of weeks ago I was told I had one final extension that I had been told I didn’t qualify for before.
Which one is right? I hope the latter but I hope be ready for the former.
