SoTier Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Tomorrow, June 6, 2024, marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. World leaders, including the POTUS, will gather in France for the ceremonies. There will be numerous television programs to remember the battle, including a program on WIVB in Buffalo (Channel 4) at 7pm tonight with a local slant (according to the ads for it). It's likely that most TSW members had fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and/or other relatives who served in WW II. My father, two uncles, and at least 3 of my mother's cousins served in Europe and the Pacific, including the Japanese invasion of some isolated islands in the Aleutians. 4 1 1 Quote
T&C Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Of all the channels out there you would think that the History channel would be showing current/past coverage, etc. of this but no, it's nothing but 1 hour shows of pawn stars. Quote
muppy Posted June 6 Posted June 6 (edited) both mine and hubbys dads were WWII vets and hence their children WWII buffs. . Hubby is watching "The Longest Day" and "saving Private Ryan" to reminesce. MY FIL was a tail gunner in a B-25. My dad was an aircraft mechanic who served in the Phillipines (Corrigadore) Edited June 6 by muppy Quote

Must have left it to a 23 year old program director to determine today's schedule. 🙄 Quote
Poleshifter Posted June 6 Posted June 6 An uncle I never met died on a Navy ship off Normandy two days after D Day. Quote
boyst Posted June 6 Posted June 6 The weirdest thing watching coverage today from Normandy was having a German flag in the background. I guess, they took part in the whole thing so it's only fair. 🤷🏼♂️🤣 Quote
