“LIFE’S COVER: The day American soldiers landed on Normandy to win back France’s liberty, the great symbol of freedom that France had given America shone brightly again in New York harbor.

At sunset on D-day, Liberty’s light went on in full glory for 15 minutes, then went out once again until the war is really won.” - LIFE magazine, June 26, 1944, 75 years ago this week.
