This library program has been made possible through a partnership between the White Oak Library District and the Village of Romeoville.
Speaker, musician, and writer Ron Eckberg presents in word, images, and music, the story of that monumental day in the history of World War II as well as the history of our world. Eckberg, as the “proud son of a World War II frontlines combat veteran" draws upon his own years of research, interviews with World War II veterans, and visits to Normandy, France and the D-Day beaches to bring a program that will educate, inspire, and encourage all listeners.

He is a regular presenter at libraries, historical societies and other venues throughout northern Illinois. He and his wife, Judy, are both natives of Walnut, Illinois.
