Operation Overlord/D-Day – June 6, 1944
Take some time today to remember those brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice as part of the D-Day Normandy invasion in World War II.
“This operation is not being planned with any alternatives. This operation is planned as a victory, and that’s the way it’s going to be. We’re going down there, and we’re throwing everything we have into it, and we’re going to make it a success.”
–General Dwight D. Eisenhower
Remember the beaches…
Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, Sword…
remember Pointe Du Hoc.
Remember them all…
and thank them in your silent hearts…
just for a moment…
for they saved your world that day.
“As our boat touched sand and the ramp went down, I became a visitor to hell.”
— PVT Charles Neighbor, 29th Division, Omaha Beach
