80th Anniversary of Historic D-Day Invasion Approaches
Normandy Landings to be Commemorated in 2024
June 2024 will mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a pivotal event during World War II.
On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched an ambitious amphibious invasion of Normandy, France, code-named Operation Overlord. The landings, known as D-Day, were the culmination of months of planning and involved the participation of troops from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
D-Day was a pivotal moment in the war, helping to establish a foothold in Nazi-occupied Europe and pave the way for the eventual defeat of Germany. The invasion remains a significant historical event and is commemorated each year with ceremonies and remembrance events.
In 2024, the 80th anniversary of D-Day will provide an opportunity to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who participated in the invasion. Commemorative events are expected to be held in Normandy and worldwide, honoring the memory of the Allied soldiers who helped to shape the course of World War II.
