I was pretty sure D-Day would be today's topic. Something else to think is that at the same time, on the other side of the world, we were invading Saipan, an operation that was almost as big as Normandy. No other nation could have even thought about carrying two operations of these sizes at the same time.

Yeah, launching major offensives in two theatres is something only America could do.

We also liberated Rome on June 5th.
