More than 600 French residents, WWII veterans, and service members from the United States, France and Germany attended a World War II commemoration June 4, 2015, to honor the sacrifices of Airmen and Soldiers who died in Picauville, France, when their aircraft crashed June 5 and 6, 1944. 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.
