Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, a turning point toward Allied victory in World War II. This war called on almost 400,000 Hoosiers to defend our nation’s freedom and claimed the lives of approximately 12,000 Indiana service members, leaving another 17,000 wounded. On D-Day, American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to help alter the course of history forever. Their courage preserved freedom, and we remember these heroes, who embody the selfless service of the Greatest Generation.
