While we should remember the Normandy invasion and the liberation of Rome, dont forget the battles in the PTO.
US forces were fighting on the island of Biak, another stepping stone in the road back to the PI. A vast armada was also at sea, steaming towards Saipan, and destiny in the battle for the Philipine Sea. In Burma, British forces were driving towards Impahl and looking at their first success's in the battle for this forgotten theater.
I salute all of the veterans wherever they may have fought in that month.
