I was born on D-Day, that is, the 3rd anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1947. I just know my mother planned it that way. You see, Phil (as everyone called her) had been a WAC (that's Women's Army Corps for you youngin') during WWII (that's World War II for you youngin') and was very patriotic. Dad too. They'd met in the army at Fort Miles Standish in Massachusetts and fought the Battle of New England. Anyway, I just know Phil had a C-Section because she didn't want to labor all through D-Day and have my birthday end up being on June 7. Bummer! (My word, not hers. Believe me!)
