    Four military paratroopers are descending through a partly cloudy sky using olive-green round parachutes. The parachutes are fully deployed and appear to be standard military static-line style canopies. The image captures a classic airborne operation with all four jumpers at varying altitudes.

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.
