We remember D-Day, the Allied invasion of German- held France, every year on June 6th. May we never forget the sacrifices there and elsewhere for our freedom.
War correspondent Ernie Pyle was loved by the American public for his coverage of WWII, which often featured names and hometowns that the information-starved public weren't getting from the news.
He arrived at D-Day plus 1 and got a front row seat overlooking the carnage and death on the beaches at Normandy.
3 of his columns are featured here today.
A Pure Miracle, The Horrible Waste of War

Four men, having survived a shipwreck off the coast of Florida in high seas, try to survive in a small dinghy. The overwhelming theme of this story is the conflict between the men and the uncaring sea and their struggle to stay alive. Stephen Crane had survived a very similar experience and was writing from experience.
