Sixty seven years ago today, the invasion of Nazi Europe begun with the Normandy landing.
Allied forces hit the French coast at five locations: Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold.
Operation Overlord was on the way, the largest amphibious landing in the history of warfare, unleashing the forces of freedom upon the occupied nations of Europe and ushering the beginning of the end of Nazism.

Thousands of American, British, French, Canadian, Polish men braved the fierce Atlantic wall, formidably defended by German forces organized by General Erwin Rommel.

Veterans from that operation, and all Veterans from WWII are dieing every day.
Let us offer our appreciation for their contribution to liberty while we still can.

Thank you, gentlemen. This American will never forget.

Just my thoughts!
