Today in History - June 6 - 2 Special Events

     As I read the page at www.history.com, I would be dishonest in saying that there was only one event that happened this day in History. There are lots of events, every day in History that have taken place that are recorded. I have two events that I will comment on for today in History on June 6th.
   The first one, of course, is D-Day, which took place June 6, 1944. It was the day that the Allied Powers crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches at Normandy, France. It was the beginning of the liberation of the Western Europeans from the bondage of Nazi control during WWII. D-Day has served as an inspiration in the making of several films. One was called, "The Longest Day" and another was "Saving Private Ryan".

   The other event that took place today in History, in the year of 1933, was the opening of the first drive in theater. It was on the grounds of Parks-in-Theaters in Camden, New Jersey. In the mid 1960s, there were around 5,000 drive in theaters across the country. As of today, there are less than 500.
