Today we remember the 160,000 allied troops who stormed the beach at Normandy to drive back the forces of fascism and liberate Nazi-occupied France. We are forever indebted to the troops, who displayed tremendous bravery and courage.
On June 6, 1944, Allied Forces invaded Nazi-occupied France. Code-named Operation Overlord, it was the largest amphibious invasion in military history. We remember and honor those brave service members who fought and gave their lives on D-Day.
