6th June 1944 75 years ago Beaches of Normandy and Saipan

June 6th. The day we landing in Normandy. On the other side of the world there was an island called Saipan. That Americans where landing on that beach also. Saipan would be the Key stone to end the war with Japan. Father landed on Omaha breach late in the day with artillery unit. They had been firing of their landing ship to support the troops on the beaches. Mean while my father in law Gil was clear the beaches of Saipan Japanese defense obstacles. Later he would build the arming pit for the atomic bomb. But never knew what would be the use of what he called a stupid hole in the ground. Normandy was a great event in history. Please also remember the troops the landed in Saipan on this day also. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧
