I wore my LST 325 blue rubber bracelet, a souvenir from the last tank-landing troopship from D-Day still in active service, moored for tourist traffic and info on the Ohio River at Evansville IN. *sigh* Nobody at work knew what I was talking about. A young guy in his mid-30s thought “that was when we invaded Hawaii.” The middle aged ladies simply didn’t register much. The 70-year-old guy exclaimed I was wrong, it wasn’t D-day, it was V-day. He couldn’t explain “V,” though.
However, your Google calendar will tell you tomorrow is Eid-al-something or other. Maybe after all the purpose of the revolution — which is maybe all one thing, Protestant Reformation, Enlightenment, Freemasonry, Islam, wokery — is to go on always creating the revolutionary personality, always adapted, always newly taught. A ship of state always sailing away from memories, always sailing away from a national identity.
I know one person still left from that day, and that is my mother, who was a girl of 15 at the time. I hope Father Z.’s kind readers will offer a prayer for her and her needs.
Thank you for this memory, Father. What courage! The beginning of the end for the Nazis!
I was thinking of my high school graduation, which was June 6, 1979. 35 years after D-Day. And 35 years from today it was 1990 – which, to me, hasn’t been all that long ago – I had been married for 2 years at that time. Almost all the adults I knew on the day of my high school graduation had personal memories of D-Day, and to them perhaps it seemed as recent as 1990 seems to me.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasant opportunity to sit down and re-read When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day by Garrett M. Graff.
It’s a good overview read of the subject, with sufficient context framing each topic but otherwise given over to the oral history from those who were there.
June 6 (1918) was also the beginning of the Battle of Belleau Wood. Semper Fidelis.
