The D-Day landings were commemorated today by world leaders today who delivered a poignant message: 'We will never forget.' But it seems many young Americans have no idea what D-day refers to.
Eighty years ago to this day, one of the most consequential military operations in world history unfolded on the beaches of Normandy, Northwest France.
D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944 when 160,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, beginning a major assault that would ultimately liberate France from Nazi occupation and secure victory in Europe. Those we knew what D-Day referred to also said it was important to educate people about significant moments in history. Several cited the adage that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
