THURSDAYS TOGETHER WITH YOU

Good morning Wilmington!

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a pivotal moment in history that changed the course of World War II and shaped the world we live in today.

President Biden commemorated 80th Anniversary of D-Day in France this morning @6:30 AM. The entire commemoration will be rebroadcasted @1:52 PM on C-Span. There will also be a ceremony commemorating 80th Anniversary of D-Day in Washington, DC - Live on C-Span at 10 AM.

The Daily Mail offers an impressive interactive webpage which helps illustrate the events of D-Day as they happened.

This issue is dedicated to the bravery and sacrifice of the U.S. and Allied D-Day soldiers.

Here’s today’s issue–

[WHQR] New Hanover County Schools celebrated Pride Month on social media but deleted the post, citing policy compliance. The district recently passed policies limiting displays to certain flags and symbols. Critics argue this infringes on First Amendment rights. The school board is also voting on controversial issues, including the Battle of the Books program and selecting new legal representation.
