June 6, 1944 was one of humanities finest hours, although at the time that depended on your perspective. D-Day, as it is commonly known, was the invasion of Normandy in France by hundreds of thousands of ally soldiers. I have chosen this image to represent it because I believe it has a powerful  perspective. Unlike many photos and film, this has a head on view. It almost depicts what it would be like if you were an ally soldier. You know that you are probably walking into your own grave, but you also know that you have to persevere because the balance of the world rests on your shoulders. I hope to never experience a similar situation, but if I do I hope that I will have the same courage that these men showed despite there likely fear and anxiety. Around them had to have been on of the most horrid sites a man has ever seen. Blood red water, corpses everywhere you look, bombs exploding, destruction in every direction, yet they had nowhere to go but straight into the thick of it. Before this photo was taken there was chaos across the world, nobody could be sure of what was going to happen in the future, but thanks the these men it became a secure, safe future.
