Burke Isnit bothered when today s generation thinks of the Allied invasion of Europe 48 years ago saturday As ancient history. A children visiting Omaha Beach today would be like me going to the site of the civil War Battle at Gettysburg a said Burke of Lutherville my. A and maybe that a  Burke 76, is a Veteran of the Normandy invasion on june 6, 1944. He and his wife Martha 71, crossed the Atlantic on the Ocean liner Queen Elizabeth ii on april 25 for a 50-Day trip through England and France. As a tourist Burke walked Down the same paths he once dreaded As a Field artillerymen during world War ii. However he Wasny to returning to France to brag about what he and More than 100,000 Allied soldiers did on per haps the longest Day of their lives. Even after 48 years Burke said he still gets very emotional when he visits the invasion beaches. A a British television station wanted to interview me when i visited Normandy for the 40th anniversary of a Day in 1984, hut i  talk to them a Burke said. Quot they wan cd me to talk about How bad it was and All the dead soldiers. 1 just  do  Burke drafted into the army in april 1941, spent almost 18 months in Western England training for the invasion with his unit the 29th inf div. The constant training kept the soldiers minds off being scared when the invasion finally took place said Burke who was a private at the time of the Battle when the invasion finally came Burke said he and his buddies a were glad to get it Over with. The training brought us to that kind of  while Burke was Landing in the third wave at Omaha Martha was in her Hus band to be a Hometown of Towson md., with his parents in a Church praying for Good news.

But Kelso did not go so far As to say that he had decided to propose changing the restriction. Kelso likened the Challenge of banishing sexual harassment to the Navy a race relations and drug problems of the 1970s and 1980s.

He said he had Quot sent out about As Strong a directions As he could that a i want the world to change. We need to change our culture and everybody a got to get involved in doing that. To me its an event that you be got to  Kelso said Navy rites that involve excessive consumption of alcohol As Well As the attitudes or naval officers who spend six months a year at sea Are partly to blame for insensitive behaviour. While the program is intended to eliminate sexual harassment in the Long run Kelso conceded that in the near future it would probably further harm the Navy a image because More cases of harassment would be reported by Navy women encouraged by their leaders to make complaints. As part of the new program Kelso is dispatching a videotaped speech and instruction materials for commanders that include 16 Case studies drawn from actual incidents in the Navy. The examples Range in seriousness from aggravated assault to dealing with office chitchat. The cases also attempt to help service members Deal with possible false complaints of sexual harassment or even one Case where a female Superior officer attempts to pressure a subordinate civilian employee for a Date.
