Summary:
"We must never forget the lessons learned on D-Day, June 6, 1944. On that fatal day, the cost of freedom was born out. We must always remember the thousands who sacrificed life and limb to free Europe en route to defeating the Nazis and eliminating the scourge of fascism from the planet. For the 75th anniversary of this momentous occasion, celebrated producer Ted Fitzgerald was there to film celebrations, reenactments, heroics, and testimonials of those that lived through it. This D-Day anniversary special is part of Ted Fitzgerald's Living History series of WWII military campaigns"--Container insert.
