“You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.” - General Dwight D. Eisenhower, June 5, 1944
"We'll start the war from right here." - Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. who landed in the wrong place with the first wave, Utah Beach, June 6, 1944
At 0020 hours on the morning of June 6th, 1944, the first paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division began landing behind enemy lines on the Cotentin Peninsula. They were quickly followed by the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division, in what is now immortalized as The Greatest Day. By the end of the day, over 13,000 paratroopers and 20,000 Soldiers of the VII US Army Corps would be in France, holding the right flank of the D-Day invasion at Utah Beach.
