Out of the Blue

Today is one of those dates that only has one association for me, as all I can think about when June 6th comes up is D-Day. Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Europe, began 71 years ago today, and within a week, over one million soldiers(!!) had landed on the shores of France. It's estimated that over 4,000 allied troops died storming the beaches, and I will always marvel at the courage of the participants, who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for what they considered to be the greater good. Salute.
