Today marks 75 years exactly since the Allied invasion of Normandy, France (codenamed Operation Overlord) during World War II. This is a photo from Pointe du Hoc on Omaha Beach - the steep cliffs were particularly challenging for American forces. Photo taken in 2017.

News Brief - Trennen
Work Time
Presentations?
Homework: Read the blog! The conflict presentation is due next class! Turn in your current foreign policy assignment if you have not already. Next news brief: Andrew.Presentations?
News Brief: Trennen had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - One person dead, 22 injured in accident near West Point training site. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Andrew was assigned to do the next news brief.
As part of the news brief, we also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):

Presentations?: If there were any student groups that were ready to present today to get it out of the way, I took volunteers to go. Next class, I will start with volunteers and then we will move to randomly selecting groups. One more week to go, everyone!
