Tomorrow marks the 68th anniversary of Operation Overlord, aka D-Day. One of the greatest military operations of all time, it essentially marked the turning point of the war.

One year in high school, on the anniversary of D-Day, I asked pretty much everyone in my classes if they knew what significant event happened today. If I recall correctly, only a handful (maybe 10 or less) knew.

I love listening to vets tell their stories. So humbling.

There are a ton more I would like to post, but that would make the page ridiculously long.

(Didn't know if I will have a chance to post this tomorrow, so I'd rather be early than late)
