A mock-up of a U.S. Army paratrooper hangs from a church steeple in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, for the 67th anniversary of the Allied invasion of France in early June 2011. The actual World War II paratrooper, John Steele of the 82nd Airborne Division, pretended to be dead for two hours until taken prisoner by German troops. He later escaped and rejoined his regiment.
