WEB D-DAY
80th Anniversary Commemorations
Attention Grabbing Lead:
WEB D-Day, the historic invasion of Normandy, France, by Allied troops on June 6, 1944, is approaching its 80th anniversary. As we commemorate this momentous event, preparations are underway for an array of special ceremonies and observances to honor the valor and sacrifice of those who fought on that fateful day.
The invasion, code-named Operation Overlord, involved the largest amphibious assault in history, with over 135,000 Allied troops landing on the beaches of Normandy. The operation was a crucial turning point in World War II, leading to the liberation of France and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.
To mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, various commemorative events are being planned, including a special ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. The ceremony will feature speeches from dignitaries, veterans, and representatives of the Allied nations involved in the operation.
