June 6
This is the anniversary of D-Day, 1944.
A reporter I met in 1959 had returned to Normandy to do a 15th anniversary story.
He said the beach was empty except for a couple in their early thirties walking hand in hand along the water’s edge. He asked the couple where they were that day in 1944. They pointed to a concrete bunker. Both, teens then, had been conscripted as
orderlies by German gun crews. The couple met when they took cover from the Allied barrage.
Later they married. Isn't that what the invasion was about, to free people from bondage to love one another?
"Love endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:7-8)
