Operation Overlord
"Soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade…in company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe and security for ourselves in a free world.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed the brave Allied forces before they fought their way onto the coast of Normandy on June 6, 1944, cementing a day that is never to be forgotten, D-Day.
