MEMORIAL DAY IS FOR REMEMBRANCE AND HONORING

Today is Memorial Day. We can celebrate with barbecues, picnics and a day at the beach, but it is also a time to reflect on the meaning of the holiday. Another important date is coming in the next few days -- the 80th anniversary of the Allies landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. Known historically as "the longest day", it was on this date -- June 6, 1944 --  that began the downfall of Nazi Germany that, along with Imperial Japan caused suffering, death and destruction on a global scale.

This excerpt from an article in the July 2024 issue of THE NATIONAL REVIEW discusses whether we have learned anything from the catastrophic event called World War II:

A DAY FOR REMEMBERING
