82 Anniversary of D-Day

NORMANDY, FRANCE JUNE 2 - 6

“THINK NOT ONLY UPON THEIR PASSING. REMEMBER THE GLORY OF THEIR SPIRIT.”
— Omaha Beach, Normandy

June 6, 1944—D-Day. The largest amphibious invasion in history. Allied forces stormed Normandy to break tyranny and change the world, at tremendous cost.

In the hours before dawn, the 82nd Airborne Division parachuted in behind enemy lines, securing key objectives and fighting for 33 days without relief. Their courage and sacrifice helped ensure the success of the invasion.

In 2026, GORUCK returns to Normandy for the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day. We ruck the beaches, hedgerows, and Pointe du Hoc. We carry weight. We honor sacrifice. We remember why freedom isn’t free.

Open to all.

Earn it. Honor them.
