I was reared as an USAF brat in the 50's and 60's. Overseas, we were taught about D Day, The Battle of the Bulge, and many of the Japanese atrocities and the things the PC doesn't allow. USAF regulations required the wearing of the Dress Blue uniform on June 6th in honor of the men that died D-Day. In public schools in Texas near the USAF bases, we were taught by a good many retired Army and USAF men that put their personal experiences into the curriculum. I believe that the NEA and the Teacher's Unions have been corrupted by the left with few veterans to offset the liberal leftist agenda that has been so prevalent since the late 60's into the present.

No doubt about the perversion of our schools by the lefties in the teachers' unions. You were fortunate to learn where and what you did.

Engaged in 1969, I chose June 6, 1970 as our Wedding Day even though I was less than a year old when the actual invasion took place. Using that date, I knew I would be very unlikely to forget our anniversary. I never have. Clever, eh?

In those years June 6th was a very significant date. Nowadays, it is pretty much forgotten as that awful war fades from national memory, with much thanks due to an incompetent and malicious public education system seemingly intent on obliterating so much of our history from our collective memories.

It is more than "sad".
