Dear anyone born after 1995 or so: This is how we used to look up books to check out from the library. It was awesome. You can still look up books this way if you come to do research at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. Then you'll be awesome too. #ilikeike #ikelife

More soldiers, equipment, and supplies pour ashore. As the fighting continues, the Allies have to protect their beaches and gain ground to make room for the reinforcements. #DDay #DDay76 #DDayIke #WWII
