D-Day
62 years ago today, Allied forces led by the United States of America landed on the beaches in Normandy, France, to retake Europe from the cold grip of Nazi tyranny.
The price of freedom? The American cemetary at Normandy, France holds the remains of 9,387 U.S. soldiers killed. 1, 557 soldiers were declared Missing in Action in the vicinity of the cemetery.
