All we can do is say thank you, Thank you for risking your lives, your limbs, your sanity, and everything for us and for freedom, and pray for you, treat you with respect, and never, ever forget what you did for us.
Excellent website here. It includes letters GIs sent home, describing D-Day, timelines, maps, information on people and places, and much more.
And more from the Army, including the text and a recording of General Eisenhower's message, maps, photos, WWII posters, and lots more.
The National World War II Museum.
And, The National D-Day Memorial Foundation.
And from today, AP: Vets gather at WWII museum to remember D-Day
And, Reagan's 40th Anniversary of D-Day Speech at Pointe du Hoc.

Outstanding tribute! It really was the turn of the tide, the beginning of the end. I can't even imagine what a sight it must have been for the people in occupied Europe to FINALLY see the Allies after four years of unspeakable oppression. It gives me chills, honestly.
I LOVE all the links too!!
