Operation Overlord, code name for the Battle of Normandy, took place 82 years ago today.
Chief Doran, a West Point graduate and Army veteran, noted, “D-Day stands as one of the most consequential moments in world history. Allied forces came together in an extraordinary display of courage and coordination, breaking through N**i defenses and altering the course of World War II.”
Now, more commonly known as D-Day, June 6 serves as a time to honor those who accomplished what many considered impossible. They stormed the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy, faced overwhelming odds, and sacrificed in ways few generations have ever known.
Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resolve of those who braved the unknown and fought with extraordinary valor.
We owe them a debt that can never fully be repaid. Lest we forget. 🇺🇸
