Today is the 67th anniversary of D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 men--Allied troops from America, Great Britain and Canada--landed on the coast of Normandy, France to begin the fight to defeat Nazi Germany.
Five thousand ships and 13,000 planes joined in this attack.
Due to their, and many other thousands and thousands of brave men's and women's, bravery, the evil forces of Nazism were broken.
Yes, it WAS evil. The Nazi leaders were against free speech, freedom of religion, and so many of the liberties we here in America hold dear. They were racist, without mercy, and violent. Hitler and his regime needed to be vanquished.
From General Eisenhower's speech:
"I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
