At this exact moment 82 years ago — 0630 hrs on June 6, 1944 — the first soldiers landed on Omaha Beach. Let us NEVER forget.

RIGHT NOW in 1944, this is the scene in Normandy. The liberation of France is underway #DDay

[U.S. Navy @USNavy]

The largest amphibious invasion in human history began in the dark.

At dawn on June 6, 1944, nearly 7,000 vessels carrying 160,000 Allied troops closed in on the beaches of Normandy.

Through courage and sacrifice, they secured a foothold in Nazi-occupied France and began the liberation of Western Europe.

Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day.

[Walk Among Heroes @walkamongheroes]

Eighty-two years ago today, the fate of the free world turned on the courage of ordinary men asked to do the extraordinary.

On June 6, 1944, more than 156,000 Allied soldiers crossed the English Channel and stormed the beaches of Normandy — many knowing they might never return.

They came not for glory, but for something far greater: the liberation of a continent crushed under tyranny. D-Day was not simply a military operation — it was the moment the tide of history changed, purchased at an almost incomprehensible cost in blood and sacrifice.

As we mark the 82nd anniversary, we don’t simply remember a battle. We remember the men behind it — their fear, their faith, and their extraordinary willingness to give everything so that others could live free. That debt does not expire with time. It only deepens.

#Trivia: In the Middle Ages people in Western Europe often stored coins in pots made of a cheap, orange-colored clay known as "pygg." By the 19th century, potters began playfully shaping these containers into the actual shapes of pigs, creating the classic "#PiggyBank" of today.

Amazing twist to @Survivor_S50, first time ever someone had to vote for themselves to go home.
@jimmyfallon that's wild beyond expectations!

I heard a jet going overhead and looked up to see this unusual sight. Four jets traveling together, leaving parallel contrails. They stayed the same until out of sight, traveling east to west.

Can't get enough of the way @DukeMBB lost the 🏀 game the other day & have watched many video clips of the last shot. Strange that Dan Hurley @UConnMBB's coach, in the flurry of excitement after the shot was made, appears to butt heads & rubs noses with an official. #MarchMadness

Also the same day, Saint Joseph's stunned top ranked DePaul 49-48 on a John Smith layup with two seconds left and Arkansas shocked Louisville 74-73 on U.S. Reed's unforgettable half-court shot that beat the buzzer. March 14, 1981 initiated #MarchMadness.

[Brian Beisner @BBeisner]

March 14th 1981, the day that initiated "March Madness".
That day Rolando Blackman of Kansas State hit a baseline jumper with two seconds left for 50-48 win over second-ranked Oregon State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
