American History Unbound

"There is a place for occasional performance — its function to celebrate a tribe, holiday, or event; to knit together community; or simply to remember a shared history. "The Eyes of the World" at the @KenCen was all of these." @DCtheaterArts dcmetrotheaterarts.com/2022/06/06/an-… #AmHistUnbound

A sample of the "Eyes of the World" show at the Kennedy Center on Saturday night. The orchestra and singers were absolutely top-notch and the venue second to none. #DDay2022

@Erikhistorian @chribj @kencen Thank you for sharing Erik @Erikhistorian.

Gen. Tod D. Wolters, the USEUCOM commander, met with #WWII veterans in the #Normandy region of France on June 5, 2022, during the 78th anniversary of D-Day. #DDay78 @USNATO @NATO @DeptofDefense @usairforce

HALLOWED GROUNDS Today is the 78th Anniversary of #DDay. On June 6, 1944, Allied Forces set to secure a foothold in France to begin the liberation of Europe. Thousands of American Soldiers died on #DDay & in the days that followed. Today, we remember them & their sacrifice

"I remember the good friends that I lost there. So it’s a little emotional." Ray Wallace, 97, a U.S. veteran who served in the 82nd Airborne Division, is among thousands of people attending ceremonies in Normandy, France, on the 78th anniversary of D-Day. apne.ws/0ilgEdc

"In 1944, I landed on these beaches and we thought we’d bring peace to the world. But it’s not possible.” World War II veterans attending commemorations in France on the 78th anniversary of D-Day reflect on fallen comrades and Russia's war in Ukraine. apne.ws/nDP81g6

D-Day marked the beginning of the liberation of Europe and the restoration of peace. Today on the 78th anniversary, major commemorations have taken place at the completed @britishmemorial for the first time. We will never forget those who served that day. #DDay78

Today marks 78 years since D-Day. If you have a few minutes to spare today, spend them listening to D-Day and Royal Marines veteran Trevor Stacey. Trevor passed away last year but in 2019 spoke movingly of what he remembered of 6 June 1944. #DDay78

×/2 Veterans recount #DDay as the "Eyes of The World" was presented at the @KenCen, Saturday. Allied forces stormed the beaches of #Normandy on June 6th, 1944 in the largest amphibious military operation in #history. @OSLmusic #WWII #AmHistUnbound
