A French girl, dressed in a U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division vintage World War II uniform, poses June 4, 2015, in front of a memorial dedicated to Airmen in the 9th Air Force’s Troop Carrier Command, and paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions in Picauville, France. The paratroopers lost their lives when their plane crashed overnight June 5 and 6, 1944. More than 600 French residents, WWII veterans, and service members from the United States, France and Germany attended the ceremony. More than 380 U.S. service members from Europe and affiliated D-Day historical units are participating in the 71st anniversary as part of Joint Task Force D-Day 71. The task force, based in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, is supporting local events across Normandy, from June 2-8, 2015, to commemorate the selfless actions by all the allies on D-Day that continue to resonate 71 years later.
