The 65th Anniversary of D-Day on the Normandy Beaches

The Denver Post has an excellent collection of D-Day photos showing June 5, 1944 preparations for battle, the June 6, 1944 allied invasion at Normandy, aerial views of the pock-marked beaches years after and the final resting place for the brave who saved the world from Nazism.

“At an hour of maximum danger, amid the bleakest of circumstances, men who thought themselves ordinary found it within themselves to do the extraordinary.” -- President Barack Obama, June 6, 2009

"These are the boys of Point-du-Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war." --Ronald Reagan
