    U.S. Army Capt. Marcus Prosser, 75th Ranger Regiment, gives a battalion patch to an usher during a ceremony at church in Circqueville-en-Bessin, France, June 5, 2025. The ceremony honored Maj. Gen. James Earl Rudder, who led the 2nd Ranger Battalion and commanded the assault on Pointe du Hoc during D-Day. U.S. military personnel are in France to mark the 81st anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. More than 80 commemorative events are scheduled from June 3 to 8 across about 40 communities in the Normandy region, including a bilateral ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery on June 6 and an airborne operation on June 8.
