Today we commemorate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. We honor the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, a day that forever changed the course of history. May we never forget their courage and heroism.

Today marks the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on the shores of Normandy. As the largest seaborne invasion in history, D-Day acted as a major turning point in liberating Europe from N**i control. We remember today those who lost their lives and pay tribute.

Fewer than 1% of those who stormed the beaches that day or fought in Operation Overlord, the Normandy battle that ensued, lasting nearly three months, are still living. We keep them in our thoughts today, too, as we extend to each our deepest gratitude.

Lastly, we remember those who returned home but are no longer with us. You were our VFW elders, our heroes, our family, our friends. You are forever in our hearts.

"You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle." - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

"They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate." - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself.

Did you know that PTSD affects about 5% of the general U.S. population, which means roughly 13 million Americans are living with this condition? Texas VFW is encouraging everyone to take this month to raise awareness, break the silence, and foster compassionate conversations about mental health.

Support our Veterans and active military members by reaching out, educating ourselves on the signs of PTSD, and sharing resources.

If you or a Veteran you know is struggling, the Veterans Crisis Line offers immediate help:
Dial **988**, then press **1**, or text **838255**.

Not all wounds are visible.
