New York – On June 6th, 1944, more than 150,000 Allied troops poured onto the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy, France, in one of the most decisive battles of World War II. The D-Day invasion marked a beginning of the end of the war and the defeat of the Nazi regime in Europe. This particular operation was at a high cost to the Allied forces, with nearly 10,000 troops killed or wounded. Today marks the 67th anniversary of that pivotal operation.

To give credit where it’s due, let’s keep in mind the horrors that the Soviet Union went through during their “Great Patriotic War”. We tend to forget that they had it even worse (if that’s imaginable) than our side did.
Yeps this day is the reason why we Jewish people are here today in the USA

I’ve thought of D-Day every year on this date (June 6th), for many years, as I had a very close relative who fought under General Patton, on the drive into Germany proper, in 1945. In addition to the American, British, Canadian, and free French forces which took place in the invasion, we must also remember the French resistance forces, who assisted our troops behind enemy lines. Shortly after the invasion, when Paris was liberated, there was a huge victory parade held in Paris. General Charles DeGaulle, was given the kovod of leading the parade into Paris.
