On this day 82 years ago, Allied forces executed the largest amphibious invasion in history: D-Day. This operation accelerated the defeat of the N**i regime.

As the ranks of WWII veterans grow smaller, our responsibility grows larger: to remember not just their victory, but what they stood against: tyranny, oppression, and genocide.

The D-Day anniversary reminds us that liberty and democracy are not permanent, instead these principles require constant vigilance and the will to defend them against any threat.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

Today, we're celebrating the remarkable women of the American Red Cross Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas (SRAO) program—better known as the beloved "Donut Dollies."

While the nickname stuck, most Donut Dollies—especially those who served in Vietnam—never actually saw or served donuts! Instead, these dedicated American Red Cross volunteers traveled by jeep, plane, and helicopter to military bases, firebases, hospitals, and remote outposts, bringing morale-boosting recreation programs, conversation, and a welcome connection to home for servicemembers serving far from their families.

The Donut Dollies served with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to those who served our Nation.

So while you're enjoying a donut today, take a moment to remember the women behind the nickname—the Donut Dollies! Their legacy of care, connection, and support continues to inspire.

Thank you to all the American Red Cross Donut Dollies who served. We are honored to preserve and share your stories at the Military Women's Memorial.

For many veterans, Honor Flight Columbus offers something they never received when they first came home: a heartfelt thank you.
