The eyes of the world were upon them. After months of planning, troops from the United States, Canada, Britain and France famously stormed the beaches of Normandy, ultimately liberating France and turning the tide of the war in Europe. They succeeded, but not without cost. Thousands were killed, wounded, or missing in action by the end of the battle's first day. We'll never forget the Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who fought for freedom during Operation Overlord. | National Guard
