I posted this picture to mark the 66th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy and opened the second front in the European Theater of the Second World War.Eleven months later, the Germans surrendered.
It was a huge military operation. Nuclear weapons and spy satellites make sure that something that big will never happen again.
The picture shows troops of Company E, 15th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division -- aka The Big Red One -- hitting Omaha Beach.
