Europe and the dday landings. Mr. Symonds, thanks for joining us. My pleasure. Thank you. We just saw yesterday, mr. Symonds, an anniversary in normandy, the 70th anniversary of dday. A lot of dignitaries there to make the day special yesterday. Why do you think 70 years later this date still resonates with the American Public . Well, first of all, im glad that it does. I think its important to remember significant moments in american and even World History and particularly this one where the world changed so dramatically as a result of the sacrifice of those who invaded northern france in 1944. And i think the 70th is particularly moving. Its a lifetime. I mean, if you consider the biblical injunction that a man has three score years and ten, 70 years now have passed. Generations now born obviously do not remember dday, have no connection with it beyond perhaps those grainy old black and white images on Late Night Television or a chapter in a history book, and not even the most recent

So enough time has elapsed now that it would be easy i think, unfortunately easy, to let those memories slip, and im glad were not doing that. Im glad were paying attention. This is a moment we should remember. Why do you think 70 years later, whats the most important thing for us to remember on this day about what happ

It had been postponed for more than a year. Thehopes of so many, futures of so many, depended on what happened that day. We just saw video of the landing. Talk about the significance. Especially the take you put on it. This is called operation neptune. Talk about it from a naval point of view. Of us, perhaps because of the famous photographs taken that day most recently, steven spielberg, saving private ryan. We look at that story as if it begins the moment the bow ramp drops on those landing boats. That is the culmination of a very long story. Much of that story involves the navy. The name operation neptune refers to all of the naval aspects of the Broader Campaign of operation overlord. I suspect more people would recognize the title for this operation. Before. S years not just months before. Probably could be traced all the way back, as i mentioned in my earlier talk, to the british evacuation from dunkirk. The that moment on, angloamerican allies try to determine how to do this. It
