Joseph Wenckus, 86th Airlift Wing vice commander, pose with a U.S. military veteran dressed in a WWII-era uniform in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Sainte-Mère-Église, France, June 6, 2019. Behind them is the church of which U.S. Army Private John Steele’s parachute snagged on the tower during the D-Day invasion.
