Juno Beach

Juno Beach was one of the five beaches targeted during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, marking the start of the Allied efforts to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control. Located in Normandy, France, Juno was primarily assigned to Canadian troops. The landing involved soldiers storming fortified German defenses by sea and land, facing heavy resistance. Despite significant challenges, the Allies gained a foothold, which was crucial for expanding their presence inland. Today, Juno Beach is remembered as a symbol of bravery and sacrifice, with memorials commemorating the thousands of soldiers who fought there.
