A U.S. air commando from the 321st Special Tactics Squadron approaches the drop zone after performing a high-altitude, low opening jump over Sainte-Mère-Église, France, June 5, 2016. The Airman was dropped from an MC-130J Commando II assigned to the 352d Special Operations Wing as part of a Normandy remembrance ceremony. During World War II, the Battle of Normandy began on D-Day, when about 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the coast of France’s Normandy region.
