82 years ago tonight 156,000 troops waited for what would be the largest amphibious invasion in history. Many wouldn’t know whether they’d live to see another sunset. In the end, about 4,400 of them would lose their lives on the beaches of Normandy.

In 1915, while the Lincoln Memorial was under construction, a Massachusetts Congressman introduced a bill to purchase the "clothing" Abraham Lincoln wore the night he was assassinated. The goal was to eventually display the artifacts inside the Memorial itself.

The bill died in committee and never moved forward.

My books at @Amazon tell more of the untold story about Lincoln's death raiments.

Tuskegee Institute head Dr. Robert Russa Moton, one of the speakers, poignantly declared that Lincoln’s work toward true equality remained "unfinished." Sadly, African Americans attending the event to honor the Great Emancipator were restricted to a segregated seating area. Dr. Moton's words serve as a powerful reminder of the words stitched inside Lincoln's overcoat on the night of his assassination: "One Country, One Destiny."
