Today is the 63rd anniversary of D-Day. The beginning of one the worlds most bloodiest operations.

It is estimated that Allied casualties on D-Day totaled around 10,000, including 2,500 dead. German casualties are thought to have been between 4,000 and 9,000.

So give thanks, for without the lives of the brave allies, you may be living in a world filled with hate, lack of freedoms, and non-tolerance.
