Weigh in on D-Day Plus 68-Years

On the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, we want to know if we're still honoring the sacrifice of our fellow Americans.

On Wednesday we mark to 68th anniversary of the battle that paved the way for the Allied victory in Europe in World War II.

The June 6 invasion of Normandy, commonly known as D-Day, is one of the pivotal events in the history of our country and the world.

It came at a heavy price. Although there is no official casualty count, estimates of allied troops killed range from 2,500 to 4,400.
