As dawn broke on the morning of June 6th, 1944, thousands of U.S. and Allied Troops stormed the beaches of Normandy by air, land, and sea. D-Day and the Battle of Normandy were decisive points in the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Today on the 78th anniversary of D-Day, we honor the sacrifice of the many service members and their families who gave all to secure our peace. | National Memorial Day Concert (PBS)
