D-Day 2019

U.S. Army soldiers assigned to the 101st Airborne Division take a picture with a young French girl at the Carentan Logistic Support Area at Hippodrome Maurice de Folleville in Carentan, France, June 1, 2019. Highlighting the strength of the U.S. commitment to European security, U.S. military personnel and equipment will support and commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 - most commonly known as D-Day. The largest multi-national amphibious attack and operational military airdrop in history, D-Day is considered the beginning of the end of WWII in Europe.
