I saw one of Reagan's speeches on the invasion the last night.
And let's not forgot the sacrifices by those who fought at Midway... It happened on the same day, 2 years before the Normandy invasion.

Those people do deserve recognition for their brave actions, as well as everyone else that fought against fascism.

I watched some of the ceremonies/festivities yesterday, as well as a moment of silence during Last Post.
Thanks, veterans <3

Yeah, my grandfather was on the beach that day. He refused to talk about his WWII experiences, so we didn't find out until after his death by reading into one of his war journals.

To all those that fought and died at Omaha, Juno, Gold, Sword, Utah, Pointe Du Hoc, and everywhere else during the invasion. We will never forget.

I've always held it in my heart that they truly were the greatest generation
They are heroes who fought and died for freedom, against oppression, and for the lives we enjoy today
