I cannot hear the date of June 6th without think of the invasion of Normandy by Allied Forces under the leadership of General Eisenhower.

Operation Overlord remains the largest amphibious operation in history, landing over 156,000 troops in the first day alone, ultimately accounting for 326,000 troops and 50,000 vehicles ashore during the operation.

Simultaneously, 18,000 paratroopers from the US, UK, and Poland made airborne insertions via parachute and glider into France.
Please join me in offering a moment of reflection for those brave men who stood against tyranny.
