Today in History: the United States Army was formed!

On this 82nd Anniversary of DDay, we remember those who fought and gave their lives and those who survived and continued to fight. On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified coastline, on the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day's end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. This is President Roosevelt’s powerful speech and prayer on that day:

President Franklin D. Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer from June 6, 1944.
