    Resolute faces of U.S. Army paratroopers just before they took off for the initial assault of D-Day. The paratrooper in the foreground had just read Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's message of good luck and clasped his bazooka in determination. Note Eisenhower's D-Day order in the hands of the paratrooper in the foreground. DOD photo

    A black-and-white photograph depicting a battlefield scene with a makeshift battlefield cross — a rifle bayoneted into the ground with a helmet placed on top — serving as a memorial marker. The surrounding terrain is heavily churned and rocky, consistent with combat-damaged ground. Ammunition belts and open ammunition boxes are visible in the foreground, indicating recent or ongoing military engagement.
    An aerial black-and-white photograph depicting a large-scale amphibious military landing operation on a beach. Numerous landing craft bearing 'US' markings are beached or approaching shore, while military vehicles, troops, and equipment are being unloaded and organized on the beach. Multiple barrage balloons are visible in the sky above the fleet, which extends far into the background.
