Get the Morris Daymug. The day The Allies invaded France, and told Hitler that his days were numbered. Omaha Beach is the target for many movies and video games etc. because the casualty rate was higher than the other 5 beaches combined.
Omaha Beach: 2400 dead/wounded
Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and Pointe du Hoc: 1675 dead/wounded
The landings of D-Day took months of careful planning. The invasion began with the Paratroopers of Americas 101st, and 82nd, along with the British glider soldiers, they secured many towns and villages before daybreak, and also caused alot of chaos for the German ranks before the initial landings. Free French (La' Resistance) sabotaged railway systems used by Germans for supply lines, and sheltered American and British soldiers who were lost, or hiding from German soldiers.
Landing Assignments:
American: Omaha, Utah, and Pointe Du Hoc
British: Sword,and Gold
Canada: Juno
Commanders:
Axis: Erwin Rommel (Germany)
Allies: General Dwight D. Eisenhower (U.S.), Bernard Montgomery (British, Canadians)
End Result:
Casualties:
Allies: 4075 Dead/Wounded/Missing
Axis: Unknown (most likely in the high thousands)
Area taken: All 6 beaches plus surounding towns and villages. I.E. Vierville Sur Mer
Date set for invasion: Originally set for June 5th, but because of the random weather of the English channel the landing force could not land until weather was clearer. Date was then set to June 6th, 1944.
Misc. Fact: Within a span of a few weeks (from August 25 to September 17 1944) The Allies liberated Paris, liberated 7 villages, the Allies crossed the Siegfried Line into Germany, and Operation Market Garden began (largest airborne invasion in history)in Holland (the third installment in the Brothers In Arms saga will be based on the Airborne drops into Holland, beginning with the jump, to the bitter defeat of the Allied Paratroopers.). This failed operation lights the fuse that will later explode into the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes.

D-Day is a topic often misunderstood because of Hollywoods traditional way of showing the grand Allies fighting the savage Nazis, but we should all remember that not all Germans were Nazis(Rommel for example rejected Nazism, and plotted to assassinate Hitler).
If you want to get a clearer view on D-Day I suggest watching Saving Private Ryan, or picking up a book, or documentary.

Get the D-Daymug. Coach Chip Kelly's mantra for the Oregon Ducks football team: to take care of what you can control today instead of looking down the road too often; to treat every game like it's the National Championship
Fast. Hard. Finish.
Fast. Hard. Finish.
I was really for the Ducks to be ranked #1 in the polls in November but then Chip Kelly reminded everyone that we need to win the day because the only rankings that matter are the ones on January 11th.
If you don't win the day at practice on Tuesday, how do you expect to win the game on Saturday?

Get the good daymug. Noun (zee day): A term probably coined by Max Brooks which refers to the war between zombies and mankind. Derived from the word D-Day, which is a British term used to refer to a variable day on which a combat attack or operation is initiated. Z-Day is marked by a sudden attack on mankind by zombies, which will lead to a widespread zombie outbreak. There are a number of zombie survivalist groups worldwide (largely in the US, UK, and Canada), that are already planning what to do when this day comes.
Z-Day will catch mankind completely off guard, and the lack of preparation will lead to countless casualties.

Get the z-daymug. Malentines Day is celebrated when two or more single men, who don't have dates for the evening, decide to bro out with each other through activities such as; Smoking tons of chronic, getting wasted, drinking beers and eating steaks, playing Madden, Call of Duty, or any other manly game, or just chilling in watching a movie (manly movies obviously. Good choices include; The Die Hard franchise, The Deer Hunter, Rambo, or any other movie with a crapload of violence.) Malentines Day is a special day, because you don't have to spend a cent on anyone but yourself. Happy Malentines Day.
Ted: Yo Steve, you gotta date for tonight?
Steve: Nah dude, fuck Valentines Day

Steve: Malentines Day?
Ted: Yeah dude, I'll go pack the bong.
