U.S. Air Force airmen and Allied troops stand in formation during a ceremony commemorating D-Day and the unveiling of the 8th Air Force memorial at Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Normandy, France, June 5, 2025. The “Mighty Eighth” flew more than 2,300 sorties on D-Day and suffered more than 47,000 casualties, including some 26,000 deaths, during World War II. On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we honor the U.S. and Allied service members who went above and beyond to so heroically answer the world's call in the defense of liberty and democratic values.
