Seventy years ago today, the United States and England, joined by many of the Western Allies, began the Normandy Invasion.. D-Day, June 6, 1944, was the first day of the massive amphibious attack on the coast of France, then under German occupation. On that day, thousands of ships, tanks, planes and troops crossed the English Channel, coming to shore on the coast of Normandy.

"Whenever the world makes you cynical, whenever you doubt that courage and goodness is possible, stop and think of these men."
