Trumpet Hour: Why You Need to Remember D-Day, and Much More
Show Notes
- As we mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, we talk about why it is important that we exercise our imaginations to remember history and maintain a clear perspective on the threats that lead to such destructive warfare.
- The Chagos Islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean have been strategically critical for Britain and America. The United Nations is now pressuring these nations to give them up, as they have done with so many other of their once-prized sea gates.
- America’s farmers are facing a double crisis of weather disasters on one hand and trade policies that are drying up foreign markets on the other. We talk about the vulnerabilities of America’s food supply.
- And I conclude the program by telling you about a haunting trip I took to a World War II battleground.
