The significance of D-Day lies in its role in the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of Europe from tyranny. The sacrifices made by the soldiers who participated in the invasion are remembered and honored, as their bravery and determination helped to shape the course of history.

National Women Veterans Day

National Women Veterans Day is observed on June 12. This day recognizes and honors the service and sacrifices of women veterans. Even though women have served in the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War, their contributions have often overlooked or undervalued.
