By Tom Sabulis
June 5, 2014

Friday marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day — the Allied invasion of France, June 6, 1944, the beginning of that nation’s liberation from Nazi tyranny. A French diplomat serving in Atlanta describes his country’s eternal gratitude for the sacrifices by Americans and their allies, while the daughter of a World War II veteran reflects on the courage of those who served. In a third piece, U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry calls on Congress to support those who helped us in the present-day conflict in Afghanistan.
