Command Sgt. Maj. Evan Lewandowski, senior enlisted advisor for First Army Division East, addresses WWII veterans during their arrival ceremony for the 81st anniversary of the D-Day landing at the Deauville Airport in Normandy, France, June 1, 2025. The ceremony celebrated the arrival of 30 WWII veterans and the sacrifices they made in Normandy 81 years ago.
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.
