D Day 79th Anniversary
The commemoration event held this week in Normandy marked the 79th anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched a daring invasion on the beaches of Normandy during World War II.
This operation, codenamed Operation Overlord, was a pivotal moment in history and marked the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany’s control over Europe.
The 79th anniversary serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the thousands of soldiers who participated in the largest amphibious assault in history.
It is an occasion to honor their memory and pay tribute to their contributions to liberating France and setting the stage for the subsequent Allied victory in World War II.
