Well, I was referring to the allied invasion of Europe at Normandy...
June 6 is also the anniversary of the passage of Proposition 13, the California property tax limitation initiative of 1978, which is seen by some as a harbinger of the Reagan Revolution.
I looked up the Battle of Belleau Wood...The date(s) were June 1-29...

A year and a half later, he was on the cover of Time Magazine, and I’ll never forget the election night party on June 6, 1978.
