June 6th, 2014 marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when U.S. troops invaded Normandy, France under the command of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. While we should take today to remember and honor the bravery of our soldiers against the Axis Powers, we should also spend some time cherishing the ones dear to us.

Bring out the tissues because you're going to need them for this article!
