The 70th anniversary of D-Day...
Jun 5, 2014
Normandy, 2011
should remind us of America’s most recent war of necessity and the last war it has managed to win. Normandy is the one place in France that seems always kind to Americans. There is no shortage of monuments to the occurrences of 1944, perhaps reflecting recognition that America has amply paid back its debt to France for its help in 1776. In August we will mark the centennial anniversary of World War I. Anniversaries for World War III are still some years away, but they will surely come.
