Added date for D-Day

Added date for D-Day. Mary Ash 03:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Personally, if someone really wanted the date, I'd have them click on Battle of Normandy. It really isn't crucial to the lede.
Nevertheless, D-Day, which is a military term of art for the starting day of an operation (cf. H-hour, M-minute), is clearly 5 June 1944, not 5-6, because the action started on the 5th. The campaign, of course, took much longer. Howard C. Berkowitz 03:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Ledes should have date, time, location and any other pertinent information. I've written a few ledes myself and a fast story or two. The fastest article written by me was eight inches in eight minutes. I kid you not. I used the dates given in the linked article. :-)Mary Ash 04:14, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
