Remember D-Day, 6 June 1944

On this day 69 years ago, Allied forces began the greatest land invasion of all time in the effort to free Europe from the grip of fascism.

Some 29,000 Americans died in that battle.  By comparison, a little over 4,800 U.S. soldiers were killed in combat during the Iraq war.

Today, let’s remember their sacrifice and bravery.
