Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've had school n' stuff. But, my last day of classes was yesterday. Now all I have are three days of finals, all half days, and then summer. So I probably won't be on much this weekend, but I will have more time from Thursday on. I know that I will be doing more stuff with the police for the Fourth of July parade, which will mainly consist of building/painting roadblocks. I don't expect that to take up the entire month, though, so in a matter of weeks I'll be completely free.
Annually, D-Day weekend.
Yes it is D-Day weekend, and I was very disappointed with the people from my school. In my history class my teacher asked us what the day was (This was on the anniversary, June 6), so I said it was the 69th anniversary of D-day. Then everyone started asking what D-day was, and it was really upsetting to see how many people thought it was a doomsday conspiracy. A few kids actually thought it was about the Domesday book, a public record book from the 11th century. Another girl (From a few months back during a reading project) thought the Diary of Anne Frank was written pre-Renaissance. Clearly not 69 years ago, but that's not the point. The point is that it amazes me to see how little people, as in just me in that entire class, know about D-day's existence. I mean, it's one thing to not know the details, but this is within peoples grandparents' lifetimes. I don't know. It just annoys me that these people fail to recognize something that literally changed the world.
But on a good note, we should all remember the ultimate sacrifice that soldiers not much older than us paid so that America and England could be protected, and that the rest of Europe could be liberated. Their sacrifice should never be underestimated and forgotten.
