Oh that's for sure. You say something to someone about it and they just give you a blank stare. Not enough recognition is given to the guys who landed on Aug 15th. History pretty much blew them off. Everyone remembers Normandy and it's referred to as D-Day, so I have to keep reminding people that there were MANY D-Days during the war, including all the campaigns in the Pacific and throughout Europe. Just ask the guys who slugged it out for over four months at Anzio!
