Mother’s Day
has come and
gone, and now
we’re staring Father’s Day
straight in the eyes.
While I love honoring
my dad, I’ll be the first to
admit, buying a gift him
is tough. Real tough. If
you ask my dad what he
wants for his birthday or
Christmas let alone, he’ll

“Our goal with the reinvented
Lucky Fish is to
offer the high-quality seafood
that we always have,
but to do it at a price point
that is more accessible to
a broader customer base,”
Gerry Geffen said. “The
new menu is well-suited
to busy people on the run,
looking for a lunch alternative
to the standard burger
and fries, while still offering
plenty of great dinner
items.”
Lucky Fish will continue
to offer beer and wine at
lunch with its full bar opening

Therefore, I don’t even
attempt it for Father’s
Day. Plus, you shouldn’t
be asking for ideas for this
day.
So a couple years back,
I took the opportunity to
write about my dad, Chris,
and feature a photo of
us in this exact editorial
space. I printed it out and
framed it for his Father’s
Day gift.
On Father’s Day, watching
him open my personalized
gift and read my
words about him is one
of my favorite memories
(aside from walking down
the aisle with him). While
seeing my name in print
is a normalcy; to see his

Glenview WWII veterans
recount D-Day memories on
75th anniversary
Seventy-five years ago
this week, on June 6, 1944,
more than 160,000 Allied
troops took part in history’s
largest amphibious invasion,
landing along a 50-
mile stretch of heavily fortified
coastline in Normandy,
France, to press the fight
against Nazi Germany.
More than 5,000 ships
and 13,000 aircraft supported
the D-Day invasion,
and by day’s end, the
launch of “Operation Overlord”
had secured a foothold
in Europe.
More than 4,000 Allied
soldiers were killed or
wounded on that day alone,
but their sacrifice made
possible the inexorable
advance of Allied forces
across Europe to defeat the
German army.

If you’re in the same

take the opportunity to

the paper like I did?
In honor of Father’s
Day, Sunday, June 16,
The Anchor is asking
residents to submit a
photo of dad for our annual
Father’s Day Photo

Maybe it’s a picture
of you two on vacation,
shooting hoops in
the driveway or even at
graduation — whatever
sweet photo you have to
share, The Anchor wants
to see it.

dad, and we’ll publish the
The American fighting
forces that defeated tyranny
across the globe during
WWII are now at least
in their 90s and are quickly
“fading away,” as the folklore
song goes. According
to the United States Department
of Veterans Affairs,

each day this year, and of
the 16 million Americans
who fought in World War
II, an estimated 390,000 are
winning entry, plus others,
on Thursday, June 13, just
in time for Father’s Day,
June 16.
The author of the winning
photo will receive a
prize from a local business
to share with his or her
dad.
The deadline for entries
is today, Thursday, June
6, to submit a photo. All
ages are encouraged to
enter the contest. Entries
must include the father
and photographer’s first

Four of those battle- and
life-hardened veterans,
all now living at Vi at the
Glen, gathered recently
with The Glenview Lantern
to talk about their service,
the emotions they felt on
the battlefield, and the state
of patriotism then and now.
