Sunday Funnies #2: Charles M. Schulz pays homage to D-Day

Monday, June 6th is D-Day, the day the Allies stormed the beach at Normandy, finally entering France, a major turning point in their ultimate victory.  (see my post on Remember D-Day: the Plan, the Invasion, Survivor Stories by Ronald J. Drez)

Charles Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was a veteran himself and always made it a point to honor his fellow vets whenever the occasion called for it.  Here are his 1994 strips for D-Day, starring my muse, Snoopy. You can click each one to make it easier to read.

    Great post Alex.
    I don't think today's generations realize what a momentous event that was.

    I am afraid you are right about that. It is especially sad when you think of how many young people were killed before they even reached to beach at Normandy.
