Today is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion during WWII on June 6, 1944. Rather than go over facts and figures better stated by others, I examine the patriotism and physical fitness training behind this legendary victory through the pages of the FM 35-20 W.A.C. Field Training Manual on Physical Training. This is an amazing historical document filled with patriotic spirit. A major contributor to this manual was physical educator Mabel Lee who was one of the top female physical educators in American history.
