Did You Remember?

[L Verge]

June 6, 2014 marks the Seventieth Anniversary of the D-Day invasion of the beaches of Normandy, France. It was the day the Allies breached Hitler's Atlantic Wall making it the beginning of the end of German occupation of western Europe during World War II.

The Lincoln Forum's own Craig Symonds has just published his new book “Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings” which deals with the naval component of Operation Overlord (The Normandy Invasion).

Craig Symonds will appear on C-SPAN3 this Saturday, June 7, to discuss his new book and participate in a live call-in session with viewers beginning at 11:30 a.m., EDT.

Craig is a retired professor of history from the U.S. Naval Academy and an excellent speaker. Our audience at a special Civil War program at Surratt House loved him last year.
