That picture...
My salute to everyone who set foot on this beach to stand against a terrible regime.

Rest in peace, soldiers!

Go Canucks!

No, I'm not cheering. Just go!
I want to get this LCT off the beach.

But, seriously, I salute all the participants.

FTW dont forget the US 101st and 82nd British 6th Airborne and the Canadian 1st Parachute Battalion.

Or the Rangers at Point Du Hoc.

Actually the airborne units jumped in the early morning hours of the 6th not the 5th.

There were also minesweepers working the Normandy coast as close as they could get without being spotted in the early hours of the 6th.
