Children of some considerable age don’t even know what D-day is let alone anything about it or remembrances.

Just as with the D-Day battle other notables over the years like

Chosin Reservoir, Korea
TET 68, South Vietnam
Battle for Fallujah, Iraq

Are all destined for the memory hole and only vividly remembered by the aged and aging Veteran population that actually fought in them.

Once we taught history. I guess there is just too much to cover now.

Some of us lived a few of these but they too and we will be forgotten. Just the way it goes. It is folly to expect anything different.

The Battle of Hastings is better remembered than those. US education purposefully ignores important history.
