MAY 3, 1994
Committee on Post Office and Civil Service discharged; considered and passed
JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate June 6, 1994, as ‘‘D-Day National
Remembrance Day’’.
Whereas June 6, 1994, marks the fiftieth anniversary of D-
Day, the day of the beginning of the Allied assault at
Normandy, France, during World War II;
Whereas the D-Day assault, known as Operation Overlord,
was the most extensive amphibious operation ever to
occur, involving on the first day of the operation five
HJ 303 CPH
thousand ships, over eleven thousand sorties of Allied air-
craft, and one hundred and fifty-three thousand Amer-
ican, British, and Canadian troops;
Whereas five separate beaches were assaulted, with American
forces commanded by Lieutenant General Omar Bradley
attacking Omaha and Utah beaches and British and Ca-
nadian forces commanded by General Miles Dempsey at-
tacking Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches;
Whereas American troops suffered significant losses during
the assault, including over six thousand five hundred cas-
ualties;
Whereas the D-Day assault was among the most critical
events of World War II, with the success of the Allied
landings in Normandy providing the foothold for the lib-
eration of France and the eventual Allied breakthrough
into Germany and leading ultimately to the Allied victory
in Europe; and
Whereas June 6, 1944, is one of the most significant dates
in the history of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That June 6, 1994, is designated as ‘‘D-Day National Re-
membrance Day’’, and the President is authorized and re-
quested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people
of the United States to observe such day with appropriate
programs, ceremonies, and activities.
