No, not including them, obviously. Even the interest of non-normandy ww2 vets is questionable, though.


Tell you what: I'll put a reminder in my calendar to ask all the people who I know who have ww2 vet fathers or grandfathers whether they did anything notable for the memorial in june. I hypothesize that an embarrassingly small percentage of them will take notice of the event.

"In Brown's remarks, he referred to "Obama Beach," then corrected himself to "Omaha Beach" a few words later, after a stir in the crowd. Brown may have been confused by the French tabloid Liberation, which marked the president's visit by splashing an "Obama Beach" on the cover of its weekend edition. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23430.html"
