In preparation for the 50th anniversary of the World War II D-Day invasion, KRMG Radio's Richard Dowdell traveled to Normandy, France in October 1993. While there, he toured key locations the Allies targeted in the effort to breach Adolf Hitler’s “Atlantic Wall”. Those locations included Utah, Omaha, Gold, and Sword Beaches.
Dowdell reported, wrote, anchored and directed the hour long special that first aired on KRMG on June 6th, 1994. The finished report was enhanced by the technical know-how of KRMG Radio's Joe Riddle.
