Remembering the Battle of Normandy D-Day: Over Normandy
A Windows to the Wild Special
On the Season 12 finale, "In the Footsteps of Atticus," host Willem Lange reunites with bestselling author, Tom Ryan and his dog, Samwise. During a hike near Thorne Pond in Bartlett, Ryan tells Will how he eventually found a new canine hiking companion, and talks about both Atticus and his other dog, Will. Hear about the legacy of Tom's canine companions and the lessons they've left for us all.
Narrated by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, D-Day Over Normandy focuses on the personal stories of those who served in the Second World War and was filmed exclusively by drone camera on location on some of the most iconic locations in Normandy, France, including: Sainte-Mariedu-Mont, Utah Beach, Brecourt Manor, Sainte-MèreEglise, Pointe-du-Hoc, Omaha Beach and La Fiere.
Our Hometown Celebration
Eagles of Mercy recounts the opening moments of D-Day. In the early hours of June 6, 1944, two young American medics with the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles" parachuted into France and soon found themselves trapped in a 12thcentury Norman church in the small village of Angoville-auPlain. Medics Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore provided first aid to the first casualties of D-Day. During the documentary, Wright and Moore recount the rigors of basic training and parachuting into Normandy.

Protect My Public Media
As news of proposed federal funding cuts unfold, we hope the information below will help you better understand this important issue. • Citizens pay about $1.35 each year - less than a cup of coffee - to fund public media • The elimination of federal funding would have a devastating effect on the 1 million people who rely on NHPTV's on-air, online, classroom and community programs, resources and services. • The impact would be felt in urban and rural areas alike
