June 6, 1944 D-Day


65 years ago American and British troops landed on the beaches of Normandy. The Allied troops had 215,000 casualties.... 215,000 in the Normandy campaign.

In 1986 I had the opportunity to visit Normandy and tour the invasion beaches, memorials and museums. Being there was an experience I will never forget. There are very few world war two veterans still alive to participate in todays memorial services. Hopefully the world will remember the cost of freedom long after these heroes leave this world.
