A Charlie Brown D-Day
Charles Schulz's moving tribute reminds us of that critical day in June 1944.
(Page 2 of 2)
"Without D-Day it's possible that Europe could have remained for another 25 or 50 years in darkness," Schulz said in an interview near the end of his life. "I'm glad I wasn't there, and yet my admiration for the people who were knows no bounds."
"What have we learned, Charlie Brown?" Linus asks.
What we have learned? We won't learn anything, won't even know where to start with Linus's question, if we allow June 6, 1944 to drift from our collective memory. Charlie Brown and his friends can provide us a refresher.
