On June 6, 1944, under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious invasion in history.
By dawn, thousands of paratroopers had already landed behind enemy lines, followed by waves of troops storming the beaches of Normandy under heavy German fire.
Despite fierce resistance, especially at Omaha Beach, the Allies secured a foothold in France, marking the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe during World War II.
Today marks the anniversary of D-Day, a pivotal moment in World War II that still stands as a testament to the courage and collaboration of Allied forces.
On June 6th, 1944, Operation Overlord commenced with the largest seaborne invasion in history. More than 156,000 troops, including many brave American soldiers, stormed the beaches of Normandy, France.
Their bravery and sacrifice paved the way for the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation. We remember their service with gratitude — and honor the generations of veterans who have followed.
