The dolt John F. Kerry is at again. On June 5 he thought it was June 6, though that was the least of it. He proceeded to brag about how much June 6 means to him, saying it's a date he never forgets. Why? Because it's the date on which he returned from his first Vietnam tour and also the date on which Bobby Kennedy died. More revealing, for a would-be commander in chief, is that he said nothing about June 6 being the anniversary of D-Day, the real reason we ever remember the date. A fifty-ninth anniversary doesn't matter? As a boy Kerry claims to have visited Omaha Beach. Apparently it left no lasting impression.

Dimboes believe history begins and ends with them, don't you know.

Sheesh!!

Would that be the French Looking Demo Candidate??

Amazing - Kerry must need better administrative help........even my 12 year old son knew what the day meant......

How typical of most of these Politicians, it's all about them!!!
I was very disappointed that on Friday, June 6th, D-DAY, there was not one war movie on, nothing really on the History Channel to remind us of this important Day.
What in the "HELL" has happened that the TV Programmers don't bother to mention or more importantly program shows about these important dates in our history?
It seems to me that too many people won't to forget or more importantly are grossly ignorant of the important dates in
our country's history. How terribly sad!!!

Ketchup Boy Kerry needs to call his Hollyweird friends and get them to send him a copy of "Saving Private Ryan"!

There's no way an American shouldn't know the significance of June 6TH. I have to admit the actual date crept on me since I don't have a paper and half the time I don't know what the day is. Once anyone would be told the day's date the only thing that should register with someone is the anniversary of D-Day.

Perhaps I was watching a different History Channel; 3 hour specials about D-Day with Stephen Ambrose which ran all week and their evening programming last night featured in-depth looks at the British 9th Parachute batallion and the Navy demolitions crews who took out the obstacles before the rest of the troops went ashore. There was a bunch more that I missed but I know it was on. You were right about the other channels not having diddly squat on though. I was expecting "The Longest Day" on AMC for certain!

You can forget D-Day, but just don't forget Jun 14th.

[CPT Clay]

Imagine all the articles and press coverage on this if a republican or George Bush would have made this mistake!!!

Barf city!

Now, for true patriots there is a real treat in store in New Orleans. The D-Day museum. If you get the chance, go there. It is an education, a fascination, and a shrine to the heroes.

John French Kerry: Does anybody
really know what day it is?

It could be that "The Greatest Generation" has turned so many people off in so many ways, that people are reluctant to honor them much. You know, the generation that rolled over for FDR, didn't do a lick to address segregation in the south, and have complained almost nonstop for the last 30 years or more for their own brand of welfare. Yep, they have turned a lot of younger people off.
