Friday on Lake Effect: MacArthur Legacy, D-Day Remembrance, Jewish Brigade, MKE Bucks

Friday on Lake Effect:

Today on the show, Milwaukee celebrates the legacy of General George MacArthur and rededicates his statue now near the War Memorial. Then, on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, we consider some historical lessons from that time, and visit a local museum with a an exhibit on Jewish partisans and the Jewish Brigade. Later, our sports contributor reviews the recent Milwaukee visit from the Buck’s new owners, and we’ll showcase a summer drinking guide to Milwaukee.
