On June 6, 1944, 4,415 men died so that freedom wouldn’t. The decisive battle that foreshadowed the end of Hitler’s dream of Nazi domination. When it was over, the Allied Forces had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties; some 4,400 were dead. #RememberHonor#FreedomIsNOTFree
Freedom is not free. It has been paid for by the courage, devotion, and ultimate sacrifice of America’s heroes.
As we gather, let us never forget those who stood for this Republic and gave everything For God and Country. Today & always, we honor their memory.

Beginning in 1942, as an increasing number of American men were recruited for the war effort, some five million civilian women joined forces with women in uniform to work in factories, electronics, etc., supporting the American war effort. Today, we honor those women.
