The Sixth of June

There has been much nonsense written and spoken about 6/6/06, most of which is spawned by an advertising campaign for a re-make of a horror movie (Hollywood IS out of ideas). 666, get it? Ooh, scary.

Little has been said or printed about a much more momentous June 6th, one which literally changed the world. The 6/6 in 1944 which sealed Nazi Germany’s fate in World War II.

Jerry Agar[*1] at KMBZ radio in Kansas City remembered the Normandy invasion on his radio show this afternoon, reading General Eisenhower’s Order of the Day for 6 June 1944.

Powerline[*2] also remembers the Longest Day.
