On June 6th 1944, The "Great Crusade" taken upon by the allied forces made up of all the major still surviving sovereign nations not currently under Nazi rule by that point in time, set out to knock down Adolf Hitlers Atlantic wall on the shores of Normandy, France and to gain a very important foothold on the continent in order to formally and finally drive the Nazi army's, specifically the German 2nd, 9th, and 116th all of which were lead by the fercome Axis field Marshall Erwin Rommel.

In the Early Morning Hours the worlds largest amphibious invasion ever attempted was carried up and headed out by the allied High command headed by one of the Supreme Allied commanders Dwite Eisenhower and nearly a 156,000 allied troops comprised of troops from the United States, Great Britain, and Canda stormed the beaches in an attempt to take the beach heads as quickly as possible in order to start pushing the German threat out of France and Northern Europe in general and all of this was accomplished without a great cost of Human Life.

For me personally as a big supporter of the military and the U.S armed forces and just being a general Big lover of history that I am with a small WW2 military background in my family this day always has been an important area of study for me and I have come to learn so much about what exactly occurred there and the major sacrifices made by so many that really saved the lives of not only many more solders to follow but it helped to start to chain reaction that really began the important decline of Nazism in Western Europe and started to spell the end of the 3rd Reich.

So like I said for me this is a very important day and being that it is the 70th anniversary I felt it would be an important thing to post a journal that honers those who fought and died in Normandy and to all WW2 vets who are left out there I really do salute you!

I really hope that you all have a very productive and awesome rest of your day and as usual Hugs and crinklecuddles
