D-Day Normandy 68 years ago

So many wars, so many battles, we can't remember to commemorate them all, but we don't forget to remember the invasion of Normandy June 6, 1944.  That invasion by the Allies, mostly Americans, led to victory over Germany and the liberation of Europe.

The invasion was no surprise to Nazi Germany.  Their military knew it was coming and had prepared but did not know where the landings were to take place.  Resistance was fierce and victory for the Allies was in doubt for a time.  Hard fought battles lay ahead before Germany would surrender.
