On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched a massive invasion of Normandy, France, marking the start of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation. The invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, was the largest amphibious operation in history, and it involved more than 150,000 Allied troops. The D-Day landings were a success, and they led to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. The invasion is considered to be one of the most important events in World War II, and it is a reminder of the sacrifices made by the Allied soldiers who fought for freedom. Today, we remember the D-Day veterans who fought for our freedom. We honor their courage and sacrifice, and we thank them for their service.
