This graphic illustration features U.S. Marines storming the beaches of Normandy, France, on D-Day, created June 3, 2025. This day in history, 81 years ago, June 6, 1944, allied forces landed on the beaches. It was a pivotal moment in World War II against the axis power, marking the largest seaborn invasion in history. Among thousands of troops were a handful of U.S. Marines that played a noteworthy role. They served as gun crews aboard ships while also helping coordinate naval gunfire, the movement of troops, and supplies off the beaches. This graphic illustration was created using Adobe Photoshop and serves as a remembrance of those who stormed the beaches. (U.S. Marine Corps graphic by Cpl. Casey Bonestroo)
