Fifty years after the longest day, a newspaper tried to put it back into the body. This is the Akron Beacon Journal’s 50th Anniversary Commemorative Section for D-Day, dated June 5, 1994 — published on the eve of the exact anniversary of June 6, 1944, the Invasion of Normandy.
The front page is striking — a deep gold and red design anchored by the bold D-DAY masthead with its lone red star, surrounded by photographs of American soldiers packed into transport ships crossing the English Channel, faces unreadable under helmets, heading toward Omaha and Utah beaches. The lead story centers on Henry Fuller of Wadsworth, Ohio — a 101st Airborne paratrooper who stood with Gen. Eisenhower in full war paint on the eve of the invasion, face blackened for the night jump, holding on to every word before leaping into the dark.
It’s the kind of local angle that makes a national story human again. An Akron boy who stood next to Ike. Who remembers not the words but the feeling.
Published by the Akron Beacon Journal, Section B. Light fold lines consistent with age; no missing pages noted.
