Once again, I have arrived at an undisclosed location, this time in north central Missouri. I visited several places today, and have some pictures to post, but first, I must allow my camera's battery to recharge before I can transfer the pics to my computer. (Yes, I've given it some work.) But enough about my activities. Today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, when the U.S., the U.K., and Canada starting landing on the coast of the French region of Normandy. With some eye toward history, here are some things going on:
From National Review, President Trump gives his D-Day speech at the American cemetery in Coleville-sur-Mer, France. (If you want to see what the place looks like, search this blog's archives for May of 2014.)
From LifeZette, one noted anti-Trumper in the media praises Trump's speech.
From Townhall, have we forgotten the sacrifice of those of fought on D-Day?
From The Federalist, what the men who fought on D-Day faced, to secure our freedom.
From American Thinker, a firsthand report from Utah Beach. (Again, look at archives from May of 2014.)
From The Conservative Woman, the D-Day heroism of the Americans "still takes the breath away".
From The Washington Free Beacon, "Trump considers banning silencers". (He can't do that himself, but would need Congress to pass an appropriate law.)
From the Washington Examiner, a Trump supporter is charged with making numerous threats to members of Congress.
From FrontpageMag, how Mexico meddles in our elections.
From CNS News, a member of MS-13, who entered the U.S. as an unaccompanied minor, is sentenced for being an illegal alien in possession of a gun.
From the Evening Standard, emotions run high as veterans, leaders and royals pay tribute to those who lost their lives on D-Day.
From the Independent, French President Macron has some advice for his U.S. counterpart.
From France24, more on the D-Day tributes from world leaders.
From RFI, a French volunteer nurse recalls the liberation of Bayeux. (The archives include some pics from there, too.)
From CBC News, Canadian veterans gather to remember D-Day at Juno Beach in Normandy.
From the NL Times, the Dutch prime minister and defense minister attend D-Day commemorations.
From Deutsche Welle, in an opinion column, some lessons of D-Day have been forgotten.
From Russia Today, Russia will urge the U.N. to call the WWII victory the "heritage of humanity".
From Reporters Without Borders, a TV cameraman is attacked while filming outside a mosque in Petit-Couronne, Normandy, France.
And from Gatestone Institute, the "transatlantic relationship" on D-Day plus 75 years.
