June 5, 1944 - U.S. 5th Army liberates Rome
June 6, 1944 - Beginning of Normandy invasion
June 15, 1944 - Beginning of Battle of Saipan (often called "the Pacific D-Day")

Obviously Normandy wasn't done by just the U.S. But stop and think about all the major operations the U.S. military was doing simultaneously in 3 different parts of the world. It's nothing short of amazing! I don't know if any other country has ever done anything like that.

To: Tell It Right

The US entering WWI also spelled the end of the war. Now we’re giving away air force bases and entire fleets of jet fighters. (And I don’t even have ONE jet fighter!)
