On this 80th anniversary of D-Day, we remember the brave Allied troops that descended upon the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany. While the invasion on June 6, 1944 did not end the war, it created a path of victory for the Allied troops. This single day of unity, of bravery, of courage, of sacrifice, of strength, stands out in history because it changed the course of the war. We cannot forget the sacrifices and bravery of everyone involved in this day, many who did not even make it safely to the shore. There are now less than 1 percent of the 16.4 million Americans who served during World War II still with us today, so it is even more important that we continue to carry this history forward. That we learn from this “greatest generation” and do not let the memories and stories of this day and war get lost. Thank you to all who served and to all who continue to keep our history alive! #dday
