Today is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944 that kicked off the allied counter-offensive on the European western front in World War II. The bravery of the soldiers is almost as hard to imagine as the incredible logistics the operation entailed. It's also worth contemplating how different the world would be if allied efforts had failed, if nothing else, as a cautionary tale.
