Relatives of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. William Owens — from left, great-grandson Harrison Morales, and Morales’ parents, Jennifer Naimo Morales and Tim Morales — listen during a ceremony in Sainte-Mère-Église, France, June 5, 2025. Owens, a paratrooper with the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions during the D-Day landings at La Fière in 1944. The ceremony was one of more than 80 official events taking place across Normandy as part of the 81st anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France on June 6, 1944.
