On this date in 1944 led by U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, an Allied armada of ships, planes, and landing craft and some 156,000 troops began the invasion of northern France from England this day in 1944—the famous “D-Day” of World War II.

No need to stick to a war or invasion or troops or beaches but those are allowed here. Obviously D songs would also be approproiate. .

Thanks to Doc (D- get it??) for the idea.
