81 years later, LST 393 pays tribute to ‘humongous effort' of D-Day
MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — The USS LST 393 Veterans Museum in Muskegon is paying tribute to the lives lost in the D-Day Invasion. The museum hopes to help visitors better appreciate the scale of the D-Day invasion and its importance. 'D-Day was one of the most anticipated events of World War II. All of the Allied nations knew it was coming, but they didn't know exactly when and exactly where,' John Stephenson, a museum board member, said. 'It took a world to defeat the enemies of freedom and that's what they did. It was a humongous effort.' Muskegon event to commemorate D-Day with ship tours, reenactment The offensive began 81 years ago Friday in Normandy, France. The LST 393 was one of many ships in the waters off Omaha Beach and served a crucial role. It landed on the third day of the invasion, June 9, 1944. 'An LST like this one, LST 393, they built 1,051 of these in three years during the war. LST means Landing Ship Tank. To its sailors, it meant 'large slow target.' But it was designed and very successfully performed the job of bringing heavy equipment,' Stephenson said. 'D-Day was supposed to happen in May, but they held it back a month because they didn't have enough LSTs.' Twenty-eight tanks were loaded through giant doors on the bow of the flat-bottom ship. 'It could carry anything. Trucks, bulldozers, artillery, you name it, to a defended shore,' Stephenson said. The LST 393 served for many years after the war as a car freighter. Only two similar LSTs remain in a military configuration. D-Day veterans return to Normandy for 81st anniversary The museum is planning a variety of events to mark the 81st anniversary, including a screening of the D-Day episode of the Band of Brothers mini-series inside the ship at 8 p.m. Friday. On Saturday, an event will honor Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient James McCloughan. World War II reenactors will demonstrate tactics used. 'Historic airplanes will attack the ship and the reenactors will defend it,' Stephenson said. A flyover is planned as part of Air Raid Muskegon around 12:45 p.m. 'We want people to remember, and we want people to experience a little bit what went on during D-Day,' Stephenson said.

TREMONT, Ill. (WMBD) — Chief Meteorologist Chris Yates was in Tremont on Friday for our CI Road Trip.

This is the festival's 59th year, with the theme 'Gobble and Groove' honoring the festival's history of live music. Chris talked to Miss Tremont, Ava Proehl, who said her favorite thing about the festival is the community and the businesses.

Two sites in Lower Neuse fail swim guide test, all sites pass in Tar-Pamlico
WASHINGTON — Two sites in the Lower Neuse failed to meet recreational water-quality standards in this week's Swim Guide report. Those sites are the Maple Cypess boat ramp in Grifton and Slocum Creek in Havelock. All sites on the Tar-Pamlico passed the Swim Guide test. 'Ongoing failures are often an indicator that there's an underlying water-quality issue,' Sound Rivers Program Director Clay Barber said. 'We know that's case with Slocum Creek, and the likely source is failing septic systems on one of the creek's tributaries. Our Riverkeepers have been working with the Town of Havelock and Craven County to get that resolved for more than a year.' A 'Swim Guide fail' means elevated levels of fecal bacteria, which can come with increased risk of gastrointestinal illness and skin infections for pets and humans alike.
