75th ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY LANDING AND THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY

Veterans returned to Normandy to salute the fallen. This year only a few dozen American D-Day veterans ( as they are all in their mid nineties or older ) returned to Normandy to honor the American troops who died in Europe during World War II. If you purchase a newspaper or google D-Day you will find lots of information.

Below are several websites to go to get additional information about what happened and what is D-Day.
