Celebrating D-Day Karthik Anandan

Celebrating D-Day

and Remembering Our Brothers and Sisters

78 years back on June 6th, 1944, the largest land, sea, and air invasion would begin at exactly 1:30 am with a massive airdrop into France behind enemy lines. 5 hours later the allied forces would land on the beaches of Normandy. This would mark the beginning of operation Overlord better known as D- Day. Honored on this day was Mr. Lawrence Talamante who is a 90-year-old War veteran with 28 years of service to the nation in the navy and served in World War 2 and the Korean War with pride and Valor. We also took pride in remembering late Mr. Gilbert Gonzales for his service in the Navy on the USS. Braine DD-630. Many community members were there to celebrate and remember this day and to support our local veterans.
