on 6 june 1944(d-day), allied forces under the command of us general dwight eisenhower invaded northern france by means of beach landings in normandy. a british coastguardman, after seeing the largest invasion fleet in history, went home to his wife and said,"a lot of men are going to die tonight. we must pray for them." he was right. at the end of d-day itself, the landing beaches were strewn with dead and wounded soldiers.
on the 20th anniversary of d-day, general eisenhower said when he visited one of the many graves in normandy:"when i look at all of these graves, i think of the folks back in the states whose only son is buried here. because of their sacrifice, they don't have the pleasure of grandchildren. because of their sacrifice, my grandchildren are living in freedom."
