With renewed attention being paid to our country's service men and women, a healthier sense of American patriotism has emerged from coast to coast. We have returned to being a country that doesn't shrink from the idea of an armed presence or has only contempt for those who serve the citizenry.
Whatever our political beliefs regarding debate over the factions of war, we don't judge those who are pressed into defending our borders and people -- or who wage offensive attacks against our sworn enemies.
Likewise, our historical curiosity has resulted in the availability of more archival data, more overall public appreciation, and a quiet reverence when it comes to contemplating war. Today, there are also new books, documentaries and observations to benefit that interest.
A 65th anniversary of World War II D-Day Invasion is planned to honor survivors and their families and is being held on Saturday, June 6th at Warren City Hall. Scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., it is suggested that those planning to attend register for the event by calling Warren Mayor Jim Fout's office at (586) 574-4520.
"D-Day was the turning point in World War II and those heroes deserve recognition for their heroism," said Fouts on the city's website.
The city is also sponsoring a showing of the John Wayne film classic "The Longest Day" on Friday, June 5th. Admission is free for the 3-hour showing that begins at 6 p.m.
Art capturing the essence of World War II will be on exhibit in Warren during June.
June 5th will additionally be the day that a special art exhibit debuts to display the work of World War II veterans at the Warren City Hall Atrium. It is sponsored by the Warren Tri-County Fine Arts, Inc., and runs until June 26th.
