Assembly Resolution No. 806

BY: M. of A. Eachus

 COMMEMORATING the 81st Anniversary of the D-Day
 invasion on June 6, 2025

 WHEREAS, June 6, 2025, will mark the 81st Anniversary of the Allied
assault at Normandy, France, by troops of the United States, the United
Kingdom and Canada, known as Operation Overlord; and

 WHEREAS, The naval phase of the Allied assault at Normandy was
coded, Operation Neptune, and the date June 6, 1944, is referred to as
D-Day to denote the day on which the combat attack was initiated; and

 WHEREAS, The D-Day landing was the largest combined armed amphibious
assault in history including approximately 132,600 members of the Allied
Expeditionary Force, including 57,500 members of the United States Armed
Forces, more than 23,000 airborne troops supporting the seaborne
landings and more than 14,000 sorties by Allied aircraft; and

 WHEREAS, D-Day, a day now known as the greatest amphibious landing
in history; and

 WHEREAS, It consisted of five infantry divisions, two American, two
British, and one Canadian, assigned to beaches code named, from west to
east Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword; and

 WHEREAS, The Americans constituted the United States 1st Army, under
Major General Omar Bradley, and the British 2nd Army, under General
Miles Dempsey; and

 WHEREAS, The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces was General
Douglas D. Eisenhower; and

 WHEREAS, Of the approximately 10,000 Allied casualties incurred on
the first day of the landing, more than 6,000 were members of the United
States Armed Forces; and

 WHEREAS, The Allied Assault and following operations were supported
by ships, aircraft, and troops from Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia,
Free Norway, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the Polish Armed
Forces in the West; and

 WHEREAS, The Normandy campaign was a stunning success; by early
September 1944, all but a fraction of France had been liberated and
American and British/Canadian forces occupied Belgium and part of the
Netherlands and had reached the German frontiers; and

 WHEREAS, The Royal Mint will be issuing a commemorative 50p coin in
tribute of the allied troops; the coin depicts allied soldiers
disembarking from a landing craft with offensive aircraft in the sky
onto the beaches of Normandy; and

 WHEREAS, The State of New York owes a debt of gratitude to the
members of the military who participated in this historically
significant event; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when events
of such historical consequences are brought to our attention, they
should be celebrated and recognized by all its citizens of the great
State of New York; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 81st Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion on June 6, 2025;
and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the National World War II Museum located in New Orleans
and the National D-Day Memorial located in Virginia.
