The feat of the invasion was nothing short of miraculous. When you go to those shores and look at the defenses, all the obstacles placed, you begin to understand just how immense the undertaking became. Then there is the cemetery that overlooks the shores--sobering. It was only with the Lord's protection that the war moved forward.
The brave men who invaded Normandy must never be forgotten! Many gave their all that day to free France and Europe from a Tyrant bent on ruling the world!
We must pass on this story to our children, grandchildren and future generations!
They must not forget!
Thank you, Tara, for this story of what it sometimes takes to keep and restore freedom!
Thank you Tara. The Normandy invasion was immense to say the least. The terrible loss of life that first day was nearly impossible to comprehend. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. But, the Allied forces didn't stop. Thank God for the Greatest Generation. They were a very tough bunch.
My father was serving on an LST in the waters off Sicily, delivering tanks and other large equipment.
The Coup de Main at Pegasus Bridge accomplished their mission and did it first, though they were British and not US forces. By 0015 on 6/6 the bridges over the Orne River and Caen Canal were secure. They kept the Germans from rolling up the entire eastern flank of the landing zones.
We owe a huge debt to those men & that most courageous generation. Ike’s decision to green light the landing despite weather concerns and Rommel’s absence from France were decisive, as were all the planning that preceded the this enormous victory. I also believe the initial sacrifices (terrible loss of life) and failure to achieve original objectives would not be tolerated today in a 24/7 News cycle. Thank God we prevailed and had our liberties
The original Texas TV meteorologist was Harold Taft. He was also the weatherman trying to pick the best day for the invasion. I'd say the Lord was on his side! Thanks Tara Ross 🌧 🌦 ⛈️ 🌩 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Seeing 100-year-old D-Day veterans at today’s Normandy event brought tears to our eyes. Their stories and the stories of their fallen brothers must forever be told and never forgotten. May God bless and keep them.❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Today I visited the location in Potsdam that the end of war was negotiated. From Normandy to here, many heroes and the greatest generation did an amazing job of defeating the nazi war machine.
Thanks to Tara for all your lessons. They have served me well on this journey in Europe 2024.
No doubt that D-Day was the greatest moment of modern history. My Dad’s generation was one of the best ever. The hard times of the depression created a very capable generation. I miss them…
It was a miracle, but the allies fought hard, and made a strategic dent in the axis armor. The Nazi's thought the invasion was going to be elsewhere, and ignored the invasion until it was too late. Bless them all for their courage, disciple, and strength. It is a total shame and scandal that today's generation and the liberal media are more concerned about the NBA finals, and gender fluidity, than the D-day anniversary. Shame on the younger generation and our society as a whole. It is so sad, indeed.
A great day for Europe, a deadly day for the Allies. Gen. George S Patton was a decoy that worked but with his experience the landings would have been much better, sadly he was sidelined for his behavior for to long.
We owe so much to these brave soldiers. What they experienced was unfathomable. They knew what needed to be done and they accomplished it. God Bless these heroes. We must never forget.
It’s hard to comprehend the immense effort and risk so many were willing to take to preserve freedom. Freedom today is often under appreciated because for many generations we haven’t known what it was like to live without it. Today we have less freedom than we once enjoyed. It has slipped away and lately has increased exponentially. Remembering those who gave so much because they valued freedom should help us to understand how blessed we have been and the need for all Americans to do what they can to preserve it. Once lost not sure it can be regained. Thank you, Tara, for reminding us of those who fought hard for the preservation of our liberty.

“We will accept nothing less than full victory!”

It was definitely a joint effort by the allies.
