Many veterans and those that served in the military will always hold a very special place in their heart for this day in June. It was in the early morning hours of June 6th, when the U.S.A., U.K., and their allies would launch one of the most massive military strikes the World has ever seen. It was the invasion of Normandy in France and this is better known as D-Day. The attack would last from the first sight of daylight that day and would continue on for the rest of the day. Days and even weeks after the initial invasion on June 6th, the Allied Forces was still sending in troops and supplies on the coast of Normandy, France. A lot of good men lost their life that day from the Allied side. It was a devastating blow to the German Army and Hitler and his fighting men were caught totally off-guard by the huge invasion that was led by the Americans and British on June 6th. It would be another year later, before they would drop the big bombs on the two Japanese cities; which would be the final ending to a war that lasted many years. People that were alive in the 1940′s decade can remember a few key dates very well. It seems everyone remembers the bombs that were unleashed over the skies of Japan and the D-Day invasion in France on June 6th, 1944. The most famous date in World War II that every American can remember like the back of their hand, was on a Sunday. It was just after lunch time for those living on the East Coast, when they would hear the news coming out of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Around 8AM local time in Hawaii, the Japanese Navy launched a deadly surprise attack on the U.S. forces and the people living in Hawaii. It was on December 14th, 1941 when this took place and President Roosevelt would later say in a speech to the American public; that it would be a day that would live in infamy and he was absolutely right about that. Just about every American living at the time, can remember where they were at and what they were doing, when they learned Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor. It was shortly after when the United States officially declared war on Japan and would officially enter World War II; which was already in progress. No one will ever forget December 14th and I’m glad a lot still remember June 6th too, because it was a very powerful invasion, but one that would cost many American and British lives that day on the beaches of Normandy.
