re: June 6th, 1944. It is 7:06 in France. The Normandy landings have begun.

I have two alarms set on my phone that go off minutes before each anniversary. June 5th at 11:30pm and December 7th at 11:48am. No matter what I'm doing I drop everything and take a moment to reflect on that exact moment in time. I hope my grandkids will do the same for 9/11 (I don't set an alarm for it because you tend to remember what you've lived through...and the media does a good thing reminding us.)
