Subject: College of the Ozarks Students' and Veterans' Trip to Normandy Featured Tonight on ABC World News with Charles Gibson

            Tonight a story about 20 College of the Ozarks students and ten veterans making the trip to Normandy for the 65th Anniversary of D-Day will run on ABC World News with Charles Gibson at 5:30 p.m. (central).

            A few weeks ago, ABC Correspondent Erin Hayes interviewed students Eden Doss and Benjamin Wilson and veteran Buster Simmons on campus about the journey.  This week, Hayes met up with the group in France to follow the story.  It will be featured as the “person of the week” segment, which will be during the last segment of the broadcast, barring any breaking news.
