Remembering D-Day

On this day, June 6th, 69 years ago, 160,000 Allied Troops landed along a heavily fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany and the invasion of Normandy had begun.  By the end of the day, the Allies had gained a foot hold, but the cost was steep.  More than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded, but the march across Europe to defeat Hitler was underway.

Check out this incredible video featuring first hand accounts from men who fought that day. There are some great photos as well.
