It's a little after 9:15 PM EST. By now on early AM of June 6, 1944-- It had begun to roll out- Invasion! In Memory of all those who gave their lives.

1.)By 7:16 PM US Time on the 5th, Six Horsa Gliders land at Pont de Bénouville (renamed Pegasus Bridge)and the Pont de Ranville (renamed Horsa Bridge) with 180 Brit Airborne who take both bridges by 7:35 PM (12:35 AM Jun 6th).By 8:00PM US time (1:00 AM June 6th France time)on June 5th, The 101st and 82nd Airborne Paratroopers were dropped over the Cotentin peninsula- some right into the middle of the town of St. Mere Eglise, many into marshes.

2.) By 9:00 PM ( US time on June 5th, the first wave of British bombers leaves Britain to bomb the beachheads of Normandy. Lancasters heavily loaded.

3.) At 9:51 US (2:51 AM France) the USS Ancon, flagship of the Omaha assault force, drops anchor 11 miles off the coast of France-undetected.

Thank you for reposting this crucial date in US (and world) history, from my post of last year. So much was riding on the lives of thousands of men, material, sacrifices— and REAL intelligence actors (not these p@ssies in dot.com techno world of today. No, these were anti-nazi and anti-stalinists in country with UK and US help—getting “up close and personal” outing the traitors of their own countries (the collaborators) and gifting them with a small arms round to the head (with a silencer). Up close, and very effectively personal to remove leadership.

I wish I could be with French friends in Normandy today and last night. For they gave much. As did a long dead old friend who was with OSS and managed a ring of Maquis (mostly communist French who hated the Vichy collaborators)— who came back from WWII to become a famous cardiologist who originated (with industry) recycling and re-servicing of affordable heart pacemakers. An ACTIVE take charge, great man. People (the jaded stupid uninquisitive millenial morons who only know what happened in the last 10 minute on their freaking i-phones.

There is no comparison- and yes, I am emotional on this complete national disconnect from our history— and loss each day of WWII veterans WHO SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. As every veteran— should not be forgotten.

Gonna watch “Darkest Hour” and then “The Longest Day” because as of tonight with the lying Quislings within our own government would gladly sell out the American people- and they deserve our infinite scorn. (Example: take Mrs. Ohr out in the public street of DC and shave her freaking gray haired head- for she and her hubby are certainly russian spies. then move on to hitlery and obamaumao, under force of US marshal’s arms (one can dream can’t one?).

BTW-— GO GATORS! And, thank you!
