    A 92R Parachute Rigger Course student, Pfc. Elijah Thomas, awaits instructions to board a C-17 aircraft for an airborne operation over Fort Pickett's Blackstone Army Airfield June 6. It was the same day 75 years ago that 153,000 Allied troops, including more than 13,000 airborne Soldiers, assaulted the German-held beaches in Normandy, France during D-Day.
