‼️Today is a very important day in our history as we reflect on D-Day. We are so thankful for our WWII veterans & their families that answered the call & their service for our freedom‼️
I would always call Mr. Walter Dickens from Monroe first thing in the morning at 7:30 am on this day to thank him for his service because I knew that he would have already finished breakfast by 6am! I have missed calling him the past ten years since he has been called to a higher service. Mr. Walt will never be forgotten in my mind so we ALL must keep our history alive for current and future generations to understand the importance of this day. Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. Share with others and take time to reflect on the real importance of this day.
Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores.
