This resolution commemorates the 81st anniversary of the D-Day invasion, a pivotal World War II military operation that occurred on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France. The resolution highlights the massive scale of the Allied assault, which involved approximately 132,600 troops, including 57,500 U.S. forces, over 23,000 airborne troops, and more than 14,000 aircraft sorties. The invasion, code-named "Operation Overlord" and its naval component "Operation Neptune," was led by Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower and involved troops from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, with additional support from several other Allied nations. The landing targeted five beach areas (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword) and resulted in approximately 10,000 Allied casualties, with over 6,000 being U.S. military personnel. The resolution emphasizes the campaign's strategic success, noting that by early September 1944, most of France had been liberated and Allied forces had reached the German borders. By passing this resolution, the legislative body aims to recognize and honor the historical significance of the D-Day invasion, and it will transmit copies of the resolution to the National World War II Museum and the National D-Day Memorial.
