Remembering D-Day: June 6, 1944

 

 

 

 The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
 I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. 
We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
-General Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

In this breathtaking shot, American soldiers can be seen waist deep in water, wading ashore
under heavy gunfire from Nazi beach nests in France on June 6, 1944. This powerful shot 
 was taken from a landing barge by a Coast Guard photographer.
