HOW’S YOUR JUNE THE 5TH?

June 4, 2020 By Larry Adamson Leave a Comment

Just some thoughts:

 
                      “HOW’S YOUR JUNE THE 5th GONE?”
 
The Mighty Fifteen - The American Contingent Flying to Normandy ...
 
“The pilots started their engines. A giant cacophony of sound engulfed the airfield at each C-47 in its turn lurched into line of the taxi strip. A the head of the runway, the pilots locked the brakes and ran up the engines until they screamed. Then, at ten-second intervals, they released the brakes and started down the runway, slowly at first, gathering speed, so overloaded that they barely made it into the sky.” 
                            D-Day June 6, 1944  Stephen E. Ambrose
 
A paratrooper seated on an airplane, waiting to jump. News Photo ...Ready! Go!': I Jumped Out Of A Vintage WWII Plane For D-Day | NCPR ...
 
Thus Monday night June 5th, 1944. Seventy-six years ago. 
 
By the way how’s your June the 5th, 2020 in comparison?
