3 On June 6, 1944, more than 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. Gen. 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, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler s crack troops. Thank you to the members of the Post and Auxiliary who volunteered to help with the Memorial Day Picnic. Thanks to your hard work and long hours the picnic was a great success. Steve
