Today marks the 69th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy and the beginning of the end of the Third Reich. Learn more about this day here at the American Battle Monument Commission's Normandy Campaign website. The interactive link entitled "The Normandy Campaign" provides a brief but detailed look at the significance of this military action.
And here in a time, place, and national experience that seems far removed from the America we know today, is President Franklin Roosevelt's radio statement delivered a few hours after the invasion began.
