I'll start our D-Day Memorial Broadcast around 5:00 pm EDT on the evening of June 5th and it'll run through at least twice before I switch to something else.

Since Eastern Daylight Savings Time is the same as Eastern War Time, the NBC D-Day Broadcasts will begin at roughly the correct time of 2:45 am on June 6th.

As we lead up to the start of the war broadcasts, I've tried to include some of the most patriotic old time radio programming I can find.   If anybody knows of higher quality or additional shows - please drop me an email.
