June 6, 1944. Thousands of young Americans stepped off landing craft into the teeth of German defenses on the beaches of Normandy. They weren’t fighting for land or resources—they were fighting for a world where tyranny wouldn’t stand. Many never made it past the sand. Those who did pushed forward, inch by bloody inch, until the beachhead was won. That day marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. And it showed that when freedom is threatened, America will cross oceans to defend it. #Military #WWII #Patriotism
