Today, USS Constitution got underway to honor the 81st anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in the largest seaborne invasion in history—launching Operation Overlord to liberate Nazi-occupied France. This pivotal moment in World War II helped turn the tide in the fight for freedom. As America’s Ship of State, we sail today to honor the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served and gave their lives for liberty. We remember them. We commemorate their heroism. And we vow never to forget. Huzzah! #USSConstitution #OldIronsides #DDay #MarineCorps #USNavy #OperationOverlord #WWII #LivingHistory #Boston #NavyHeritage
