D-Day-June 6, 1944
D-Day remembrance honors the pivotal Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. Also known as Operation Overlord, it was the largest amphibious landing in history, paving the way for the liberation of Western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. The operations at D-Day demonstrated the resolve of the Allied powers and their commitment to defending freedom and democracy.
At the conclusion of D-Day, Allied death tolls exceeded 4,000, with 2,500 of those being U.S. Army Soldiers. The U.S. Army and the Allied partners who were part of the invasion continue to honor the ‘Greatest Generation.’ The joint operations forged in those days also remain crucial to how the U.S. collaborates with its Allies and partners today.
Muhammed Ali said: “A man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of life.
