D Day

Hello, Sunni here! (Hailey's Mum.)

In Sweden, you may think you have all the reason to celebrate your National Holiday today, for ending a union with Denmark and Norway in 1523. In the rest of the world, this is celebrated as D Day, when in 1944, Americans, Brits, and Canadians landed in Normandy, in Nazi occupied France, and started to liberate Western Europe from tyranny. There were a few Swedes among the troops, but Sweden took no part in this war against tyranny.

I was born and raised in America, but this is not the only reason for me to say this. You should remember D Day on the National Holiday festivities today, because without D Day, you might still have had nothing to celebrate in Sweden.
