Today is the anniversary of D-Day. 76 years ago the Allies stormed the beaches at Normandy, France



Salute to the men who gave their lives today 76 years ago

[flash]

Take a moment, raise a glass to all the men & women involved in Operation Overlord and all those that followed them to liberate Europe.

A thanks, a prayer, and a toast.

[Von Scharf]

Take a moment, raise a glass to all the men & women involved in Operation Overlord and all those that followed them to liberate Europe.

Bravery, dedication and sacrifice that will never be forgotten.

[Teaticket]

To those that were part of The Longest Day, we will always remember.

I can only imagine how frightened those men must have felt, especially in the first wave. Heroes all.

[gully_raker]

I Salute all who contributed to this landing which was the start of the collapse of the Nazi Regime.
Especially those who gave their all on that day. R.I.P.

[Hedeby]

Surely the most momentous day in recent history.

[Diamondback]

Most dismaying to note that even History Channel/AHC didn't have a word about D-Day yesterday...
