HALLOWED GROUNDS

Today is the 78th Anniversary of #DDay.

On June 6, 1944, Allied Forces set to secure a foothold in France to begin the liberation of Europe.

Thousands of American Soldiers died on #DDay & in the days that followed.

Today, we remember them & their sacrifice

"I remember the good friends that I lost there. So it’s a little emotional." Ray Wallace, 97, a U.S. veteran who served in the 82nd Airborne Division, is among thousands of people attending ceremonies in Normandy, France, on the 78th anniversary of D-Day. https://t.co/M2pvMcajP6

[AP Europe @AP_Europe]

"In 1944, I landed on these beaches and we thought we’d bring peace to the world. But it’s not possible.”

World War II veterans attending commemorations in France on the 78th anniversary of D-Day reflect on fallen comrades and Russia's war in Ukraine. https://t.co/WJSVPQviye

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

D-Day marked the beginning of the liberation of Europe and the restoration of peace.

Today on the 78th anniversary, major commemorations have taken place at the completed @britishmemorial for the first time.

We will never forget those who served that day. #DDay78

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

Today marks 78 years since D-Day.

If you have a few minutes to spare today, spend them listening to D-Day and Royal Marines veteran Trevor Stacey. Trevor passed away last year but in 2019 spoke movingly of what he remembered of 6 June 1944.
