Look who ELSE is headed to Normandy!

Chi-Hi students aren't the only people whose thoughts will be on Normandy, France this June. President Barack Obama will be attending the 65th Anniversary ceremony, honoring the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. Unfortunately, we were on able to arrange travel on the actual anniversary date ourselves, since our finals and graduation are so close. Turns out, our travel dates are likely better, since security measures would likely not allow us to be there for the ceremony anyway, given the star-power of the attendees.

Unfortunately, elaborate ceremonies commemorating the D-Day invasion are not likely to continue in perpetuity. This article from the Telegraph points out that this year's anniversary is likely to be the last gasp of many veterans' groups, whose memberships are shrinking as D-Day veterans age and pass on. Just another reason our trip is truly a historic occasion!
