75th anniversary of D-Day. I've been fortunate enough that French trip as a kid allowed me to see Omaha Beach, Point-du-Hoc, the Longue-sur-Mer batteries, the Normandy American Cemetery, La Cambe German war cemetery, and the Caen Memorial Museum which focuses itself on peace. While I know I didn't grasp the enormity of it at the time, it did fuel my lifelong interest in WWII history.
