NHL Opening Night hits different without our friend.

We'll never forget what you did for the game of hockey, Barry. We miss you today and every day ❤️

@LukeEpplin Hope you can get in! Chef is amazing.

@mcuban @HeatRanger305 @grok I'd be happy to see employees treated more fairly than shareholders and actually make a livable wage. And stop making employees do the job of 2-3 people.

June 5, 1944. 3:30am.

Eisenhower woke to howling wind and hard rain. At 4:15am, in a water-soaked tent, his meteorologist James Stagg told him: there's a 24-hour break in the storm coming. One window. Miss it, and the next date is June 19.

He had 5,000 ships and 160,000 men already moving toward France.

He said: "OK. Let's go."

That evening at 8:30pm, he drove to Greenham Common to stand among the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne. He had just been privately briefed they could expect 80% casualties. He didn't show it. He walked through the crowd, shaking hands, asking names, asking where men were from.

One soldier, Lt. Wallace Strobel, said Michigan.

Eisenhower smiled. "Oh, Michigan. I used to fish there. Great fishing in Michigan."

Witnesses said his eyes were wet when he got back in the car.

That night, alone, he wrote four sentences and stuffed the paper in his pocket:

"Our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

He misdated it "July 5." His mind was somewhere else.

Meanwhile, across the Channel, Field Marshal Rommel was in his staff car rolling through Germany toward home. His wife Lucie was turning 50 tomorrow. He had brought her a pair of shoes from Paris.

The Germans had no Atlantic weather stations. Their meteorologists had told high command: no invasion is possible in this weather. Rommel genuinely believed they had weeks.

The paratroopers jumped at midnight.

@marceelias Thank you counselor.

[peter sallata @psallata]

@ericripert @LeBernardinNY More of this please Chef! 👌🏼

@justinalpertesq Would definitely help with male enrollment.

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq I'll assume the Harvard of Tribeca is #50? 🤔

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq @wakeupnj Agreed except for the special application. Why not make all methods acceptable for anyone to use? Evidence of voter fraud is comically low and actually pretty low on the list of things that need to be "fixed" in this country.

@justinalpertesq @Scaramucci I'm not taking that bait. 🙅🏼🚫

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq @Scaramucci That ship sailed during his first term.

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq @SecWar @SASCGOP @SASCDems Those were the days....

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq @SecWar @SASCGOP @SASCDems Totally.

[peter sallata @psallata]

@justinalpertesq @SecWar @SASCGOP @SASCDems And yes, getting us out of this silly war too...
