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
