“We’re losing about 1,800 World War II veterans nationally, every week. We
are losing out on getting their histories of what they did for their country
and the world.” - Donald Tyne, director of Linn County Veterans Affairs.
Freelance writer Dick Hogan writes article in The Gazette titled Not many soldiers left who recall D-Day, reflecting on a famous point in world history: June 6, 1944. The Gazette comments "Time is claiming what the Nazis could not 65 years ago today, on D-Day."
Some 150,000 to 156,000 Allied troops — 73,000 of them from the United
States — began one of the bloodiest chapters of the war on June 6, 1944,
with
the landing on the Normandy beaches in German-occupied France. The
invasion was
called Operation Overlord, but the day itself has long been
called “The Longest Day.” - Dick Hogan
