The set for the observance of the 70th anniversary of D-Day is just incredible.

They have these great temporary pavilions and bleachers set up for the dignitaries and audience to sit under, out of the direct sun, and to sit on.

The coolest feature is the HD screens, which appear to be giant monoliths that have sunken into the beach.

Does anyone have a link or tv channel that is carrying the actual ceremony, without Chuck Toad talking over it?

Just amazing, though, what they have done to commemorate that historic moment so long ago.

I just started watching a few moments ago on the MSNBC, but they wouldn't STFU.

So far what I've seen looks quite stunning, indeed!

it was candy.

Now, we're the Soviet people being fed the propaganda and most American's are eating it up, many of them the very same Americans who laughed at the gullible Soviet's and marveled at how they could buy the crap their leaders were selling.

You get to see the contrast between how the Canadians handle the news vs. the propaganda and idiocy of our media.
