        Britain had already stopped Hitler from invading Great Britain. US and GB just helped the French get their country back.

              That's more like it.

              We pushed Hitler back for a long while before you guys decided to team up with us to help the French.

                There were more than just the US and Great Britain involved in D Day. There were soldiers from France, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakian, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Poland. Oh and don't forget the Germans.

                  Here are some pictures of the gentleman in picture #41 speaking to the Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen. He (Keesler) really had a good story to tell and talked to the Admiral for a long time.

                    +1 Sunday night I was up real late watching all the D-Day documentaries on TV. I just couldn't turn them off to go to sleep. Think I finally went to sleep about 3:00 AM.

                            I did the same thing. I went to sleep about 4:00 AM.

                              Not really related to D-Day but, I just heard Bletchley Park is digitizing everything and putting it online. Which is super cool. Bletchley Park for those who don't know is the place where they were able to crack messages enciphered with the German Enigma Cipher machine.
