Draggingtree Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Remembering D-DayPosted by Kemberlee Kaye June 6, 2016 at 1:15pm We remember On June 6, 1944, Allied forces executed Operation Neptune, one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history. We know it at D-Day. Two years prior to launching the D-Day kickoff to the Battle of Normandy (Operation Overlord), Allied forces planned, strategized, and misdirected Axis opponents (Operation Bodyguard) to ensure Operation Neptune’s success. The D-Day invasions marked a crucial turning point in the European theatre. Within two months, France was liberated. By the following spring, the Germans were defeated. Today, we remember the courage, valor, grit, and determination of the men and women who participated in the D-Day invasions. http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/06/remembering-d-day/#more-173759 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
