Today we honor the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, when Allied forces faced impossible odds on the beaches of Normandy and changed the world. Aggies were among the brave who stormed those shores, their sacrifice forever woven into our university's legacy of selfless service. That legacy didn't end on the battlefield. It lives on in every Aggie who answers the call.
