Bookends D-Day

A unique pair of D-Day bookends on one of the most important episodes of the Second World War.

The term "D-Day" holds significant weight in military history, representing the pivotal moment when major operations commence. Originating from French military terminology, it signifies the designated day for the commencement of a significant military campaign, often kept confidential until the last moment. "D-Day" gained prominence during World War II, particularly in reference to the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Since then, it has transcended its military roots to symbolize any crucial moment or event, whether military or civilian, where actions taken will shape the course of history. This term encapsulates the anticipation and gravity of impending operations or decisions, underscoring the importance and impact of timely action.
