 Navy commands around the globe are commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Sekhnav's emphasis on people, platforms, power and partnerships is key to a successful Navy as a global fighting force. June 6th, we started shelling the Omaha Beach, but the troops started landing at about 6.37 o'clock. So we had to stop shelling them. The chaplain was on the bridge and he was telling us that the German shells were coming out and missing us on each side of the ship. Sailors put their lives on the line for the liberation of Western Europe and the invasion served as a turning point in World War II. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake.
