I think it is fine to remember major battles on major aniversaries, like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, years etc. etc. but we don't need to be reminded every day. Maybe we should focus on the troops that are dying a senseless death in Iraq right now for NO MEANING WHATSOEVER.
My two cents. - Michael
Um, the landings at Normandy WERE a major battle, it was also the turning point in WWII, if it werent for those beach landings, there is a very good chance most of Europe and the Western world would be under the rule of Hitler right now.
