For once, this is a day not to be a cynical old fart.
And also, as I've already told the Kid, to declare a truce with the Yanks, despite the mainly cynical jerks currently in office over there.
I don't feel the slightest sudden urge to go to church, but it's still a day to remember and give thanks, especially if you live in France.
For the younger frogs, Marianne among their number, if you're looking for the best of the bunch among the weekend supplements and special issues in the French newspapers, you won't find it there, though some of the dailies do have quite good D-Day numbers.
 Going through the pile with news vendor Francis, the "keeper" we found -- the most clearly written in French, the best illustrated and the most "entertaining", though that's scarcely the word for a day so full of slaughter and sacrifice, was right here, at Historia.
If you speak Frog, they've been generous enough to put a lot of this issue, 'Les Soldats de la liberté,' online.
Judge for yourselves.
