Tonight, Is the night, Of nights.

The calm before the storm. Pointe du Hoc. The most dangerous mission on D-Day, according to Omar Bradley. 225 men will fight here late tonight, US time. 77 will be killed, and more than 140 will be wounded.

It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. See more at substack.com/@alexkershaw

My uncle, Captain Wylder Modine, was a real B-17 "Flying Fortress" pilot during WWII. After returning from a bombing mission, he got hit by anti-aircraft fire and almost had his right arm taken off. He had his crew bail, but his co-pilot was shot up really bad and couldn’t parachute, so my uncle, with one arm, landed the heavily damaged B-17 in a field behind enemy lines. He was awarded the Air Medal and Purple Heart. I talked with him before making MEMPHIS BELLE in 1989. He gave me his dress uniform to wear in the film and said, “when you put that on, don't disrespect it.”

Today in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrenders the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox effectively ending the U.S. Civil War. Grant orders his jubilant men not to cheer. "[They] were now our countrymen," he recalls. "We did not want to exult over their downfall."

Taking a turnover to the house!

Alan Page was the engine of the Minnesota Vikings “Purple People Eaters”. Page combined quickness, intelligence, and relentless effort in a way the position had never seen. In 1971, he did the unthinkable winning NFL MVP as a defensive lineman. • 148.5 sacks - unofficial • 9× Pro Bowl • 6× First-Team All-Pro • NFL MVP (1971) • Hall of Famer But his greatness went beyond football. After retiring, he earned his law degree and became a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, one of the most remarkable second acts in sports history.
