D-Day, Operation Overlord, June 6, 1944

June 06, 2020 by Marc Handelman in Heroes

'...these men came here–British and our Allies, and Americans– to storm these beaches for one purpose only, not to gain anything for ourselves, not to fulfill any ambitions that America had for conquest, but just to preserve freedom. Many thousands of men have died for such ideals as these, but these young boys, were cut off in their prime. I devoutly hope that we will never again have to see such scenes as these. I think and hope, and pray, that humanity will have learned. We must find some way to gain an eternal peace for this world. via Eisenhower: A Soldier’s Life, by Carlo D’Este (ISBN: 0805056874 Holt Paperbacks; First Edition)

The Allies That Landed On The Beaches That Day, The 6th Of June 1944 In Defense of Freedom: United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Free France, Greece, Netherlands, United States of America, New Zealand, Norway, and Poland.

Fleming Begaye Sr., World War II United States Marine Navajo Code Talker has died on the Navajo Nation Reservation at Chinle, Arizona. There are now seven remaining elite World War II United States Marines - Navajo Code Talkers alive. So, for an exceedingly short time in our history as a nation, I will be able to tell my grandchildren that yes, it's true that Heroes of this Marine's stature still walk the Earth.
