"Lieutenant Welsh remembered walking around among the sleeping men, and thinking to himself that 'they had looked at and smelled death all around them all day but never even dreamed of applying the term to themselves. They hadn’t come here to fear. They hadn’t come to die. They had come to win."'
No matter how often we see or hear the stories - in sober documentaries or flashy Hollywood movies, technical nonfiction or gut-wrenching memoir - the events of D-Day never lose their power.
At the moment of greatest need, against daunting odds, 156,115 allied soldiers set their sights on the beaches of Normandy, France. In the air and on the ground, they faced a hail of artillery and gunfire. Soldiers battled through landmines, barbed wire and wooden stakes. Many - far too many - were cut down. But the rest kept going.
The invasion was years in the planning, and it involved terrible risks. But those soldiers who kept moving forward started the advance of liberty that would slowly but surely beat back the enemy. Their courage turned the tide.
