D-DAY ~ 69 Years Ago Today

June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.”

More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy.

The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded -- but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Please take time to visit  and support Team Britt's Support Our Troops Project. 

 Find drop off locations for donations that are shipped to our current troops, have your class send notes to troops, buy a t-shirt, sign up to man a table at many of the upcoming local attractions.  There are so many projects to get involved with to show these brave troops they are not forgotten.

As always - PLEASE fly your flag proudly and the display of  a simple yellow ribbon goes a long way.
