The Longest Day

What is the longest day about?

• A 1962 film?

  The film is about In 1944, the U.S. Army and Allied forces plan a huge invasion landing in Normandy, France. Despite bad weather, General Eisenhower gives the okay and the Allies land at Normandy. General Norma Cota travels with his men onto Omaha Beach. With much effort, and lost life.

• Here in Stockton NJ on 2024 June 20- the sun is over the Tropic of Cancer by giving the northern hemisphere its longest day..  For Geocachers since we are “GPS -savy”This info could have been used to make an “unknown?” style of cache but I might make some careless error and mess it up, so just a cache, walk and sign.
