Returning to the shores of normandy where 70 years ago today, they took part in the largest amphibious invasion in history. It was a turning point in the war that helped the allies eventually defeat hitlers third reich. Where soldiers paid the ultimate price. June 6, 1944, nearly 160,000 allied troops embarked on the biggest am figurous military seattle ever. They crossed the English Channel to storm five beaches in northern france. 5,000 soldiers died on that fate fall day. It became the catalyst for topping the the nazi regime and changed the course of history. Today marks the 70t 70th anniversary of dday, 17 heads of state, including president obama are in france to pay tribute to the soldiers who died that day and to honor those who survived. We come to remember why america and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril. We come to tell the story of the men and women who did it, so that it remains seared into the memory of a future world. Mi
