'I'll see you on the beach...'

Below, the opening scene at Omaha Beach from "Saving Private Ryan," my favorite movie.

And see, "Carlo D'Este, at the Armchair General, "What if D-Day Had Failed [2005]?"

Also, from Brian Williams, at Military History, "The Atlantic Wall [2000]," and David Jennys, at World War II, "D-Day: The Beginning of the End for Nazi Germany [2006]."

At the New York Times, "World Leaders and Veterans to Gather at D-Day Beaches."

And at Telegraph UK, "D-Day: 'History dies if no one knows about it'," and London's Daily Mail, "Even after 70 years, the loss never fades away: The Allies return to Normandy to mark anniversary of D-Day landings."
