D-Day is this Friday

This Friday marks the 64th anniversary of the Allied landings at Normandy in Northwest France during World War II. This landing opened up the second front against Hitler's Nazi Germany. The end of that regime would come less than a year later. More information about D-Day can be found by going to the following website:
