One wonders what the world would be like today if D-Day and subsequent events during WWII had not been successful <_< !!

Yes, it is a memorable day for more reasons then just the D-Day landings in France. My fathers birthday is also today. He was born on the actual day it happened, June 6th, 1944.
I can remember D-Day very well when we heard it on Radio in those days. It took about one or two weeks before we could see it in Black and White at the old Fox Theater on the News Reals, and then watch a Good Western Movie or War Movie and most of the time they were "John Wayne" Films, that is the way it was done in those days. 
So Viper your Father was Born on D-Day? 
I think I was about 13 years old at that time. We all had many Relatives that took part in that very Big Invasion , and there were many that Did Not Make It Back Home!!! 
God Bless All These Great Men.

P.S. I am sitting here right now watching the D-Day Invasion on the History Channel. 
I am glad that this has been posted about June the 6th 1944/2006. All day today when near the TV set, I was going fron news channel to news channel. All they were talking about was June 6th 2006, but nothing mentioned about D-Day 62 years ago today. 
I want to express that I am very greatful to all the living veterans and those who died on this day 62 years ago. I will say that you Gents will never be forgotten.
To those who died: Rest In Peace Fellas.
To those who survived: thank you VERY much for your sacrifices Gentlemen.

Bill, yup, on the exact date. My granfather was in the Pacific theater at the time my dad was born, I am not exactley sure were he was at though. I wish I could have asked him about it, but he died before I had the chance to learn anything. He did bring back a japanese sword and a piece from a Zero that was shot down in a area that he was defending.
They are all heroes. Let all the fallen soldiers from that day rest in peace. And to all living may there days be filled with peace as well.
