On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory.†More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler’s crack troops.
Please help me honor them so that they are not forgotten

Thank you for sharing these. Memories face with time and generations, but some burn so bright as to live on for centuries beyond the lives of those who first held them. I believe that what they did there that day will be one of those memories that endures long after all of us are gone.
Lest We Forget.
Courage and sacrifice.
