ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The 300 photos of the D-Day invasion between these covers are presented to memorialize the stories and sacrifices of those who fought for freedom seventy-five years in the past. Each image captures a moment in time for a soldier, sailor, or airman. Let us never forget the sacrifices they made.
