The Federalist has a tribute to those died. Their newsletter points out:
"...speaking of Franco-American relations, it was on this day in 1944 that 156,000 American and Allied forces landed on the Normandy coast in a courageous endeavor to liberate France and turn the tide of war. Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight Eisenhower told his troops: 'You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade.... The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.... Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. Let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.'"
One more day of thanks to all the brave men and women who have served this nation.
Nice site.
