I can report that my local news showed film clips of the D Day landing this morning to commemorate the event so a good sized audience was reminded of the day. For years Charles Schultz used to depict Snoopy wading through the water off a landing craft in the Sunday comics around June 6th. I always thought it was clever of him to do that as kids across the country would see it and maybe ask their parents what it was about. I didn't see the Sunday paper yesterday so I don't know if any of those were reprinted, I'm pretty sure I saw one last year...but the good news is that there are some regular very public reminders of the courage and sacrifice of the men on Normandy Beach.
