Actually the order to go ahead on June 6 was given at a 4:00 AM
meeting on June 5th. This after already postponing the go-ahead by one
day due to weather.

See pages 37-39 of:

What words he actually said seem to be in some dispute, but the "OK,
We'll Go" is most often quoted.

*Lest we forget.......*
