National Holidays- D-Day Remeberance

D-Day was on June 6, 1944 and it was a day to remember by forever. We honor this day by remembering the soldiers killed in action storming the beach in Normandy, France. the U.S Participated into the war after the Pearl Harbor attack and most were sent to Europe to help out the Britain’s, French, and the Russians. Since we were the strongest forces in the war, the allied forces sent  us to the hardest sectors of the Normandy beach, the Omaha and the Gold beach. More than 5,000 planes and 13,000 ships entered in D-Day invasion. after a while, the allied forces captured and secured Omaha beach. At least 9,000 allied soldiers died in combat and we celebrate it by going to the museum and national cemetery in Normandy, France and plant flowers and wreaths to honor these people. I celebrate this holiday because the soldiers served our country and this day should not be forgotten. The most people that celebrate this holiday are the World War II Veterans that were drafted into the war. This holiday should be still here because if this never would have happened, we would have lost the war and fallen to German axis forces and Japanese empire.  https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/d-day
