					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow is the anniversary of D-Day when 160,000 Allied troops landed on French beaches and began the march to defeat Hitler. The Army has a <a href="http://www.army.mil/d-day/">website devoted to D-Day</a> that I hope you will explore.  The visual images, accounts and statistics testify to the courage of Allied soldiers.  In addition, the story that I tell in a SmartByte video recorded for Athenaonline.com entitled <a href="http://www.athenaonline.com/knowledge/containers/SBPframe.asp?id=3076&amp;idk=1220mls08&amp;mx=6000&amp;bhcp=1" target="_blank">Voice and Culture</a> describes the American Army&#8217;s culture of ingenuity that historian Stephen Ambrose wrote was largely absent in the Nazi army.</p>
