Today I finally got the chance to visit this shrine to bravery and resolve on this one Day, June 6th,1944.

D-Day was the extraordinary day in 1944 when 156,000 allied forces—including 34,000 American troops—landed on the beaches of France, giving allied troops a key toehold on the continent, and hastening the end of the Second World War.
