78th Anniversary of D Day... found a new documentary on YouTube - excellent

My 11 year old daughter actually came to me on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and said "Dad - I just looked at the calendar and realized D Day is coming up - as is the anniversary of the Battle of Midway... do you think we could watch a documentary today" After a moment where I wondered if I was on Candid Camera.. we found THIS great one that seemed to be one I had not seen... good stuff for those interested...
My father made D Day such a huge deal in our house growing up.. he would fly the flag (or more accurately we would have to the flagpole in our garden at 7:00am on these days.. every year to watch him raise the flag) on D Day / Battle of Midway (June 4th) / Pearl Harbor in addition to all the other holidays.. makes me happy to see that my kids still know it's so important... Always good to take a step back and see real bravery and sacrifice at its finest...

World War Two (the YouTube channel) is in the middle of producing THE definitive documentary on the Normandy landings that will be released 365 days from today. It will be 24 hour-long episodes chronicling the D-Day landings from all sides, as it happened, in real-time.
