It’s D-Day.  On this day in 1944, tens of thousands of American, British and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France and began an eleventh month march to Berlin.  This seaborne invasion, one of the great battles in History, cost thousands of lives, but ultimately led to the end of World War II in Europe. We salute and honor those from the Greatest Generation who lost their lives that day... as well as those who lived to tell the stories.
