JUNE 6, 2014-- INVASION NEWS 1944-- June 6, 1944. "New York, N.Y.. Times Square and vicinity on D-Day. Howard Hollem, et al. for OWI.
Men gathering around bulletin board. Headline:"Invasion" News, Embassy Newsreel Theatre.
Comment: Newsreel Theaters meant getting quick news fast (for then) This one which opened in 1929, the first with an all newsreel format. Newsreels were on the wane after World War II and eventually dropped the word "Newsreel" from name.
The theater showed regular movies for the next 48 years before closing in 1997 and then reopening as the Times Square Visitors Center.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
