These brave men and women gave their lives during the pivotal Normandy Landings on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), and the ensuing campaign to liberate Nazi-occupied France. Today, we remember their sacrifice and are reminded that freedom isn’t free. #Normandy #Dday #Cemetery #France | Travis Manion Foundation | Facebook
