Ask 100 people on the street today if they know the historical significance of June 6th and it wouldn’t me surprise if none of them know.

It’s D-Day, when Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy (the largest amphibious landing in history), which was a turning point in World War II.

“A nation that forgets its past has no future,” said Winston Churchill.

And Pearl S. Buck said, “If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”

Who is Winston Churchill, you ask, or Pearl S. Buck?

Never mind, I say, help yourself to a donut — today is June 6th, National Donut Day.
