Remembering D-Day
Soldiers and Airman from the Southern European Task Force march in formation in front of World War II veterans from the Normandy invasion June 4 in Mont Saint Michel, France. On June 6, 1944, 160,000 allied troops began landing on the beaches of Normandy, France, for Operation Overlord, otherwise known as the D-Day invasion. More than 9,000 allied soldiers were killed or wounded on the 50-mile stretch of beach, but it marked the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Amber Bressler)
