Bob CollinsIt’s the anniversary of D-Day. Sixty-eight years ago, 78,000 Americans were among those who hit the beaches in Europe.
It won’t be long before there’s no one left to tell the story firsthand. But today is not that day.
D-Day plus 68
About the blogger
Bob Collins
bcollins@mpr.org • @newscutBob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
