June 6 is an important day in United States history and because of that, the world itself. In 1944, June 6 was the day that the Battle of Normandy began, the largest seaborne invasion in history and the beginning of the end of Nazi control of northern Europe.
For a history nerd, such as yours truly, it's a monumental day, but for all of mankind it was a watershed moment in history. Each day that we do a Daily Dump, we try to tie in some sort of event of the day. It could range from a birthday to a death, to a notable event.
