To mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion on the French coast in World War II, also known as D-Day, the State Historical Society of Missouri will feature a public program, examining how a Missouri railroad town took on the war. Journalist Bill Cloud reflects on his family-owned newspaper, Pleasant Hill Times, which published photographs, letters and stories from men and women serving at home and abroad during the war.
