A WWII veteran shakes the hand of a French child during an arrival ceremony for the 81st anniversary of the D-Day landing at the Deauville Airport in Normandy, France, June 1, 2025. French civilians and children stood alongside U.S. Soldiers to welcome back 30 WWII veterans who traveled here to commemorate the 81st anniversary of D-Day.
U.S. military personnel and equipment will commemorate the 81st anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, widely known as D-Day. Participating service members from approximately 25 units will take part in more than 80 commemorative events from June 3 to June 8, in approximately 40 French communities throughout the Normandy region -- including a bilateral ceremony at Normandy American Cemetery on June 6, and a commemorative airborne operation on June 8.
