Re d day.
My son and I were in France and Germany from Jun2 to June 17 2004, the 60th anniversary of D day was taking place in France and we met many d day vets during our travels. It was awesome.
On the morning of June 6 we were in Berlin and heard the news of Ronald Regans death the day before ( a big deal in Berlin). We went for a walk up the Under Linden and noticed it was being set up for an event. We surmised it was too soon to recognize Regan’s passing and D day was not a big event in Berlin. They were setting up for the monthly open air market.
On another note the year before my wife and I were in New Orleans ( N’ Awlins) and I visited the Higgins boat museum and the WWII museum,which I will state is probably the best in the world.
Higgins also built PT Boats as well.
