#DDay - 6.6.44 79 years ago, courageous men faced off with enemy guns on the shores of France, and died for us. We Remember You.
ALT A black and white fuzzy single frame from a combat film, taken off the shore of Normandy, France - June 6, 1944. The camera looks out at a distant shoreline fogged with gunpowder smoke, allied infantry of approximately 70 men in the frame are seen stretched all the way to the beach wading the waist high water with their backs to the camera. In the center of the frame, the camera is perched above a landing craft, bobbing in the water with the unloading ramp already dropped down in the water. These men are about to face certain death of enemy guns entrenched ahead, with an advantage tucked into pill boxes high on the hill and shooting down at these men, as the D-Day landing commences and the start of the liberation of France begins. Ultimately German forces are defeated in the months ahead.

Always sad to say farewell to people who contributed and informed us about our musical heritage. Sorry to see you go, Les! Your dad must be waiting for you!
I loved Les Brown, Jr.'s show on 40s Junction. I so enjoyed his delightful behind-the-scenes stories about growing up among the great musicians of the swing era. He was charming and gracious. I'll miss him.
The man on the left is my mentor, Les Brown Jr. Last night he took his "Sentimental Journey" home. (Look up the song because it's also part of his legacy). RIP Les.
