“A bridge too far” but never forgotten. On this day in 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Market Garden, a daring WWII mission to liberate the Netherlands. It became one of the largest airborne operations in history and one of the most costly. Though the operation fell short, the bravery shown by British, Polish, and American troops remains unmatched. 🎖️ As we reflect on their sacrifice, we also remember the invisible battles many veterans continue to fight long after the guns fall silent.

Operation Market Garden - 81st Anniversary. We will never forget the 10,000 casualties and as Cornelius Ryan once said, this was the bridge too far. God bless. “Every Day is Memorial Day - The Greatest Generations Foundation” | The Greatest Generations Foundation
