REMEMBERING D-DAY
.On 6 June 1944, the WWII Allied forces, led by the American military, invaded the beaches of Normandy, France in a major offensive push to defeat the Axis powers in Europe. War raged across Europe until, at the end of April 1945, Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, was captured and executed. Adolf Hitler, the German dictator, then committed suicide at the end of April as well.
.Throughout the first week of May 1945, German forces throughout Europe laid down their arms and on 8 May 1945, Germany offered its unconditional surrender. It would be another three months, on 2 September 1945, that Japan also surrendered bringing WWII to a victorious end.
.Today is the anniversary of the Allied landing in Normandy; D-Day. Let us all remember the incredible sacrifices made by the American troops on that beach, the families who lost their sons that day, and the crusade that followed which kept the world free.
