>Today Marks the 66th anniversary of the D-Day landings and Veterans and those grateful for their sacrifices have marked the anniversary with solemn ceremony and wreath laying.It is a day for remembering the invasion that turned the tide of World War II and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The battle to free Europe from the grip of the axis powers had begun.
Over 215,000 Allied soldiers, and about as many Germans solders, were killed or wounded during D-Day invasion and the nearly three months it took to secure the capture of Normandy.
