U.S. Army and British paratroopers from various airborne units visit Merville Battery in Ouistreham, France, to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the D-Day invasion on June 1, 2012. Paratroopers from the Allied nations gather in Normandy each year as a remembrance to the military servicemembers who fought in the effort to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II which started with the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. The commemoration, which includes ceremonies for the over 9,000 service members who gave their lives during the invasion and airborne operations, allows the countries involved to pay homage to those who fell 68 years ago.
