Below is a message General Eisenhower sent the morning of D-Day, during the Allied Invasion of Normandy in 1944 where thousands of heroes gave their lives in order to liberate Western Europe and the world from fascism.
Be thankful today in memory of those who never made it off the beach 81 years ago and remember what they were fighting against and what they died for.
"...and the light of battle was in their eyes."
