Soldiers from the 29th Infantry Division pose for a picture with their French host family prior to a local home-cooked meal May 31, 2017, in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France. These dinners happen every year to kickoff the start of D-Day commemorations. This year commemorates the 73rd anniversary of D-Day, the largest multi-national amphibious landing and operational military airdrop in history. Overall, approximately 400 U.S. servicemembers from units in Europe and the U.S. are participating in ceremonial D-Day events from May 31 to June 7, 2017.
