D-Day Art

Vajayjay Culture “ The 'fallen' were left to be washed away by the tide at the end of the day A pair of British artists have created this stunning installation of 9,000 silhouettes on a D-Day Landings beach to mark international Peace Day. The project, named, 'The Fallen' is a tribute to the civilians, German forces and Allies who lost their lives during the Operation Neptune landing on June 6, 1944. The design was the brainchild of Jamie Wardley, 33, and Andy Moss, 50. Together with a team of volunteers the pair travelled to Arromanches beach, Normandy, to create the silhouettes, which were individually drawn into the sand. [Full] "Peace Day" sophistry aside, this is an excellent companion piece to the opening 30 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan." We are so used to the hyperbolical use of numbers that it takes pictures like those to drive home the horror of D-Day beaches, and 9000 casualties. A curmudgeonly aside.  It is my misfortune that MoSup watches the Today Show each  morning.  Before I could skedaddle today, I was treated to  Matt Lauer 's segment "Zimmerman's wife holds her ground."  Evidently she is filing for divorce from the beast because, who knows; he broke the iPad with her evidence. She did mention that she'd  "lost 40 pounds, " and was ready to "move on."  Right.  Anyway, Lauer did his damnedest to get her to say that he lied about "targeting" the Trayvon thug, to no avail.  They just will not give up on this. But here's the linkage to Normandy. I can see a  1940's Matt Lauer interviewing widows and mothers  every morning about how they feel about the death of their husband/son.  "In retrospect, do you  feel it was worth the loss of your loved one for this cause?"   Because that's what they've done during every war since Vietnam.  And it's why women feel that Liberals have their six. Sheesh. ” cuzzin ricky
