Abstract
In April 1994, the St. Petersburg Times asked interested readers to submit their recollections of the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War Il. The Times compiled the submissions and published a special section in the May 25, 1994 paper to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944). The newspaper donated some of the letters, journal entries, and clippings used in the D-Day Remembered section to the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library in August 1994.
