U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Jason Hinds, U.S. Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa deputy commander, gives remarks at 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. We remember the courage and sacrifice of those who stood here before us in Normandy, a testament to the enduring power of unity in the face of tyranny. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt.
