Funny enough, we’re now within a couple weeks of the 70th Anniversary of DDay, and I haven’t heard a peep about any commemorations.
So the neglect doesn’t seem to be limited to the Civil War.
We heard so much about the other commemorations because Presidents Reagan and Clinton and Bush went to France for memorial services. It looks like Obama will do the same, so we'll hear something about it in the news.
Cameron, Hollande, and Merkel are also supposed to be there, and Obama is also scheduled to meet with Putin. Something tells me that what happened 70 years ago may not be the focus of coverage this time, though.
So the neglect doesn’t seem to be limited to the Civil War.
The WWI centennial is also coming up. So you get the usual magazine chatter about the outbreak of the war. I doubt the centennial of our own entry will make much of an impression on most people, though. The Spanish-American war centennial passed without comment, and once upon a time, that war was a big event.
