Today was D-Day and I didn't see anything anywhere on site about it, I am surprised about this.

I was laughing at your remark about my density.  Perhaps I was laughing at G-Money; he's one funny dude.

Ah, sorry.  I misinterpreted your closing sentence as a continuation of its recognition throughout the world, not limited to this site.  Unless Obama plays online chess...

I never thought of him as someone who makes multiple accounts...  I wonder how chess.com will go about handling this issue?

"batgirl, I think he was talking about there being nothing on chess.com about it"

 

I know, G-Money7, which is why I noted that it's mentioned in the papers and why I offered a possible reason it's not mentioned here.

Thanks G, the thing is that there are a lot of members on the site from each country invovled. This is what intriged me into there not being much mentioned about it

batgirl, I think he was talking about there being nothing on chess.com about it.  I suppose that's only fair, since chess.com is an international site and D-Day only involved a few countries.  It's indirectly related to most countries, but not all.

swak, D-Day was Operation Neptune - the Allied invasion of mainland Europe at Normandy, France 65 years ago - the largest amphibious attack in history - ultimately leading to the fall of the Nazi Regime eleven months later  (VE-Day, Victory in Europe Day).  The meaning of the "D" in D-Day is kind of vague, but the term itself just means the day when a coordinated invasion occurs.

RedSozpawn, actually it was very much in the news, particulary since Pres. Obama gave a moving speech on June 6th at Omaha Beach where the Allies, particularly the USA, had suffered extensive casualties. I guess there are just too few WWII veterns around to remind us of their terrible sacrifices.
