65th Anniversery of the Allied Invasion of Normandy

It was sixty-five years ago that Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, June 6, 1944.

To commemorate that landing, this weekend I'm flying a 48-star United States flag similar to one that would have flown in 1944.

Well done, Lawrence! I was happy to see a good amount of attention being paid this year. I'd hoped to have been in normandy for the commemoration, but reality (or finances) intruded! I'm happy to see this photo!
