    On D-Day, the US First Army comprising two corps (five divisions with auxiliary units and services - about 73,000 troops) landed on and around Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, and the Cotentin Peninsula. The US provided 16.5 percent of the Allied warships in Operation Neptune and hundreds of landing vessels. Two US air forces - 6,080 tactical and strategic aircraft - served in the Allied Expeditionary Air Force. General Dwight D. Eisenhower led the Allied Expeditionary Force as its Supreme Commander.

    Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today

    'In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, Americans received word that three years of concerted war efforts had finally culminated in D-day--military jargon for the undisclosed time of a planned British, American, and Canadian action. During the night, over 5,300 ships and 11,000 planes had crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy. The goal of every soldier and civilian involved in that effort was to drive the German military back to Berlin by opening a western front in Europe.'
