June 6, 1944 was a pivotal moment in the history of World War II in Europe. On that day the climactic and decisive phase of the war began. Those who survived the intense fighting on the Normandy beaches found their lives irreversibly changed. The day ushered in a great change for the United States as well, because on D-Day, America began its march to the forefront of the Western world.

By the end of the Battle of Normandy, almost one of every two soldiers involved was an American, and without American weapons, supplies, and leadership, the outcome of the invasion and ensuing battle could have been very different.

In the first of two volumes on the American contribution to the Allied victory at Normandy, John C. McManus (Deadly Brotherhood, Deadly Sky) examines, with great intensity and thoroughness, the American experience in the weeks leading up to D-Day and on the great day itself. From the build up in England to the night drops of airborne forces behind German lines and the landings on the beaches at dawn, from the famed figures of Eisenhower, Bradley, and Lightin' Joe Collins to the courageous, but little-known privates who fought so bravely, and under terrifying conditions, this is the story of the American experience at D-Day. What were the battles really like for the Americans at Utah and Omaha? What drove them to fight despite all adversity? How and why did they triumph? Thanks to extensive archival research, and the use of hundreds of first hand accounts, McManus answers these questions and many more.

In The Americans at D-Day, a gripping narrative history reminiscent of Cornelius Ryan's The Longest Day, McManus takes readers into the minds of American strategists, into the hearts of the infantry, into hell on earth.

Impressively researched, engrossing, lightning quick, and filled with human sorrow and elation, The Americans at D-Day honors those Americans who lost their lives on D-Day, as well as those who were fortunate enough to survive.

Durable tug toy that our pitbull absolutely loves
As soon as I pulled this toy out, our pitty saw it and immediately wanted to play. Tug is her absolute favorite thing to do, and she is crazy about this one. She constantly looks for anyone willing to play with her. That makes me really appreciate the grip loops because they keep our hands comfortable during the tug sessions making it easy to play with her. Our house is also run by an 8 lb Chihuahua who is definitely the alpha. Believe it or not, our big pitty is scared of the little dog and just lets her steal the toy away. She just patiently waits and grabs it back the second the Chihuahua loses interest. The size is great as both dogs can get good bites on it for secure hold. We have had it for a month now, and it is holding up perfectly without any real damage. Best of all, our she still enjoys it just as much as she did on day one. I really like that it is made in the USA from BPA and latex-free materials. It cleans up easily in the dishwasher and even floats when we take it down to the ponds. --- For anyone interested, the exact product I purchased was listed as: Wagalicious, Tuggfinity, Lime The ASIN for the version I received was:

Fun Toy for Large Dogs, but Hard to Grab from Flat Surfaces
I gave this to a large dog to see how it would hold up during play. He really enjoys it and stays engaged with it, especially during active play sessions. The material feels durable enough to handle a bigger dog’s strength. It’s bright and easy to spot, which helps when playing outdoors. It’s clearly designed for interactive play. One thing I noticed is that it can be a little difficult for him to pick up off the ground. The shape doesn’t give much to grab onto when it’s lying flat. Once he gets it, he enjoys it, but getting started can take a second. It’s still a fun toy, just something to keep in mind. Works best when tossed or handed to them.

An absolute powerhouse for heavy chewers—survived the "same-day" test!
Finding a toy that can survive a large dog is usually an expensive game of trial and error. More often than not, new toys end up destroyed in the exact same day we buy them. However, the Wagalicious Tuggfinity Lime toy has completely defied expectations. This large, lime green tug toy is built like a tank. It is the perfect size for larger breeds and has actually held up incredibly well to intense tugging and heavy chewing sessions. Instead of shredding into pieces within hours, it’s still going strong. The best part is the price point. At around $15, the value is absolutely awesome. Usually, you have to pay a massive premium for "indestructible" style dog toys, but this one gives you top-tier durability without breaking the bank. If you have a big dog that demolishes everything, this is a must-have.
