Poem
June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, allied troops landed on the beaches, an unpleasant day that started in the early morning hours in Normandy, France, and turned the tides of World War II. The effect was the beginning and the liberation of Western Europe and tanglement from Nazi control. Exhausted they'd given their lives and we remember them. Each soldier has their own story of the chaos; none are the same as they were moved by impulse of the moment. Their heroism and bravery displayed by troops has served as inspiration to all our Allied countries. 7/14/2018 Poetry Contest: Juneteenth Sponsored By: Edward Ibeh John Lee Richmond pitches baseball first perfect game on June 12, 1880.
