D-Day +23,011
On this day 63 years ago, my grandfather and nearly three million Allied soldiers invaded France in the largest seaborne invasion of all time. He came ashore on Omaha Beach in his tank, after the infantry had cleared the way for the armored divisions.
After this invasion, Grandpa stayed in Europe for almost three more years, fighting Germany and, later, occupying the defeated Axis powers. He and his entire generation saved the world from fascism. And for that, they deserve our thanks.
