A most important date for the whole world. I would highly recommend your reading (I'm almost through reading it myself) "Band of Brothers," by Steven Ambrose. By far the best, and most readable book about the war in Europe that I have ever read. I almost shudder to think what Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks will do to the story in their HBO mini-series due for viewing in September, but I hope they treat it well.
