Musical Moments: D-Day at 70
Musical Moments features music and artists I've enjoyed over the years.
Next Friday will be the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy during World War II.
To commemorate the anniversary, and in honor of all who have served and are serving our country, here's one of my favorites -- the introductory theme to the Band of Brothers:
Above: Members of the team responsible for taking Whiskey 7 to Europe from the United States pose in front of the aircraft at Ramstein a few days ago. The vintage plane dropped paratroops of 82nd Airborne Brigade behind enemy lines in Normandy before dawn on D-Day.
