U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Andrew Torrance, the fire support noncommissioned officer for “Attack Company,” 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, poses for a photo after conducting a parachute jump near La Fiere bridge at the Iron Mike Drop Zone during D-Day 82 in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, June 7, 2026. As thousands gathered across northern France to mark the 82nd anniversary of the largest amphibious invasion in history, Torrance stood among them not only as a Sky Soldier, but as a grandson and great nephew of D-Day invasion service members, carrying forward a legacy forged during the liberation of France in 1944.
