UNLIKE YOUR SUMMER BEACH VACATION, THESE BEACHES WERE NOT THEIR CHOICE

1944

June 6th, 1944

D-Day. Day of Days.

Everyone has heard of D-Day, June 6th. The day Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and began their hard-won liberation of Europe. This would not be the first beach invasion, nor would it be the last during World War II by the United States armed forces. Half a world away, in the Pacific, the United States Navy landed thousands and thousands of Marines on islands many had never heard of before, and even now many do not know their names.

Although war had been raging in Europe and Asia for several years, the United States was relatively untouched until December 7, 1941. Although it was not called World War II at that time, it was. The United States had been involved prior to this as the “Arsenal of Democracy,” and now, in order to defeat the Axis powers, the United States had to reach hostile shores all over the world.

And that started with a landing craft, LCVP or Higgins boat, or a LVT or Amtrac, that would land on the beach and deposit United States soldiers and Marines. These were heroes who came ashore under unrelenting fire to invade heavily fortified and defended beaches. Thousands never left. This sand came from those beaches.
