Annual Announcement

This site, D-Day, has nothing to do with the historical event, D-Day. This is less of a problem than in past years, because Google fixed their algorithm slightly and now I'm the #7 search on "D-Day" rather than #1. Nonetheless, for those looking for information about the battle at Normandy Beach, check the other items on the Google search. It always makes for a fun traffic spike, but I really have nothing for you, except thanks to those who fought and died in that battle.

I'd offer personal recollections at this point, but members of my family were in Okinawa and Italy.

...D-Day is a contraction of my name.

Disclaimer

Today is the anniversary of D-Day. My site is about modern politics and not about that event; the name "D-Day" is a contraction of my name.

However, I appreciate the annual traffic spike! And to help you in your journey for information about the storming of the beaches at Normandy, here's a nice article from the OC Register about the remaining survivors of the invasion.

Cheers!

Happy Anniversary

In what is becoming an annual tradition, I'd like to redirect all of the wayward Googlers who found this site today on the anniversary of D-Day (less now, as the Google monkeys have dropped me down on the main page).

Webring of D-Day

Random wingnut argument that "Democrats would have pushed for an armistice before D-Day" or "If the media was around during D-Day they would have printed troop movements!" when in fact the Democrats were in charge during D-Day and newspapers existed then too.

Enjoy your anniversary! My grandfather was at Okinawa, maybe I should change the blog's name...
