June 6, 1944
Allied soldiers bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. These beaches were chosen because of the range of air cover, and it was the shortest distance from Great Britain. By the end of the day, the Atlantic Wall, (which took the Germans years to build), had fallen and the invasion was a success.
The significance of the D-Day landings is that they represented a major turning point in World War II and allow us to reflect on those who gave their lives to guarantee the freedom enjoyed today. Less than a year after the invasion, the Allies formally accepted N**i Germany’s surrender.
Let’s not forget the brave soldiers today on the 79th anniversary of D-Day.
