D-Day: 80th Anniversary May Be the Last

A Look Back at the World War II Invasion That Changed the Course of History

Why the D-Day Invasion Remains Important

The D-Day landings, which took place on June 6, 1944, were a turning point in World War II. The successful Allied invasion of Normandy, France, helped to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation and paved the way for the eventual defeat of Germany.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and it is likely to be the last major anniversary that will be attended by veterans of the invasion. Many of the veterans who participated in the D-Day landings are now in their 90s and 100s, and their numbers are dwindling each year.

As the last survivors of D-Day pass away, it is important to remember the sacrifices they made and the role they played in shaping the world we live in today.

This year's commemoration of D-Day will be a special opportunity to pay tribute to the veterans and to reflect on the importance of their victory.
