D-Day - FN Herstal in Belgium
On this day, the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion, we honor those who risked everything in this historic operation that turned the tide of WWII for the Allies.
This day also means a great deal to FN and our team, for on this day in 1944 and the weeks that followed, Belgium would finally be liberated from the German occupation that it had suffered for four long years.
We remember and honor those who gave their all 75 years ago. Today, FN has the privilege of standing with the forces of freedom on frontlines across the globe.
