It's Thursday, which probably means that you are asking yourself what's going on this weekend. If it were 65 years ago, the answer wouldn't be anything nearly as nice as seeing a movie or sleeping in—it'd be invading the beaches of Normandy.
This Saturday marks the 65th anniversary of that tragic but triumphant day when Allied forces stormed five beach areas of Northern France in order to begin wrestling control of the country away from the Nazis in World War II. Since Normandy sees so much tourism of the historical sites on normal days, we're going to bet that this weekend will be the craziest yet.
