How did D-day affect the U.S. and Texas?

Answer Many American soldiers died on D-Day and the days to follow. For a good story on how one small town in Virginia was impacted by their sons who left there with the National Guard, read the book "The Bedford Boys". This may not be an answer to your question but the battleship USS TEXAS was involved in the D-Day invasion and shelled the gun position at Point du Hoc. I guess some sailors from Texas was on that ship.
