Omaha Beach is now a vast harbor, delivering supplies to an Allied force that will soon number a million men. https://t.co/EEg00P06y6

@Clock_Hypocrisy @TiffanyFong And I'll pray for you because you clearly need help.

[Cris Markos @CrisMarkos]

@KAHBLINGYBLOSH_ @TiffanyFong Nonsense. He didn't have to defend himself by pulling a knife and killing someone. That was murder.

Leftists worldwide have much in common:

They preach tolerance, but don't practice it toward anyone who isn't a leftist.

They hate civilization.

They defend criminals.

They are insufferable.

We always think it is only parents who give life, but in reality our children also give life to us.

We are born anew in the love of our children and become who we were meant to be.

82 years ago today, nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, launching the liberation of Europe.

We are free because they were brave. 🇺🇸

[101st Airborne Div. @101stAASLTDIV]

We remember their courage #DDAY

On June 11, 1944, Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole led surviving service members from 3rd Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, in a bayonet assault near Ingouf Farm. He later received the Medal of Honor.

So many lost already today. More than 900 Americans on just Omaha Beach. Here are the Niland brothers. Their story inspired Saving Private Ryan. See more here: https://t.co/y6G2nmqJbu

@FiatLuxGenesis So true. Even people you've known most of your life. It's one after the other.

The free world erupts in joy at the news that the Allies have landed in Normandy. In Amsterdam, Anne Frank notes in her diary that the best thing about the invasion is the feeling that "friends are on their way." Millions of Europeans dare to hope for freedom, at long last.

The deadliest place on D Day on this longest of days, where the sacrifice has been greatest: Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach, where 19 Bedford Boys have died, where more than half of their infantry company has been slaughtered, and where the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan are set.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy. Among them were the Bedford Boys — 44 men from a small Virginia town of just 3,200 people. Nineteen were killed within the first nine minutes, without ever firing a shot, giving Bedford the highest per capita D-Day loss in the nation.

They gave up their tomorrows for our today. Never Forget the Bedford Boys and all Americans who gave their lives to liberate the world from tyranny and secure the freedoms we cherish as Americans 🇺🇸

[The Appalachian Podcast @GetOnTap]

On this day in 1944 a little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains with about 3200 people would lose 20 sons, with 19 coming on Omaha Beach during the first wave.

The “Bedford Boys” were made up primarily from Company A, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, and trained for two years in England before leading the charge for one of the greatest battles in history. Bedford would lose 23 sons in total, making it the highest per capita loss of life of any town, which led Congress in to designate Bedford as the site of the D-Day Memorial, dedicated in 2001.

Honoring the heroes of D-Day:
On June 6, 1944, Allied Forces landed in Normandy. A mission defined by extraordinary courage.
