- Explore the sacrifices of the 150,000 Allied troops—mostly American, British, and Canadian—who stormed the beaches of Normandy, many of whom paid the ultimate price for freedom.
- Listen to powerful excerpts from wartime reporters Andy Rooney and Ernie Pyle, who captured the raw and unfiltered truth of D-Day and its aftermath.
- Reflect on the personal accounts of two WWII veterans, Ralph Norton and Paul Todd, whose valor and experiences shaped Foth's understanding of sacrifice.
- Understand the profound connection between the sacrifices made on D-Day and the greater theme of freedom, both at a national and spiritual level.
