The Day the world had witness the Awakening Of A Giant.

@boxalchemist

Fun Fact about D-DAY

The USS Texas, a Battleship at Normandy, deliberately began to sink its self so it could get its cannon to the right angle to make it's shot. The Texas survived this event, and is now a ship museum on the Texas coast. (I think it's going in galveston after repairs)

Edit: Thank you everyone for the corrections in the replies :)

16-30 year old men did some fucking legendary shit. The scale of this conflict is so hard to comprehend without having seen it

@Capitalist_Egg

I Dunno why, but the beginning of the song with Roosevelts speech with the music kinda gave me the chills

@FNWendigo

I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.

Moral of the story:
Don’t fuck with Americas boats

@imogen1

Non-Americans listening to Seven Nation Army: "It's a metaphor you see..."
Americans listening to Seven Nation Army: "What the fuck is a metaphor."

@hutao-smasher

i love how we beat Japan so hard nobody talks about the losses for America and only Japan just because of how significant the difference was.
100k Americans died
2m Japanese guys died and they lost 2 cities

not even talking about the missing guys, aircraft, boats, etc
