A U.S. Air Force aircrew member waits for a C-130J Super Hercules ramp to lock prior to takeoff during D-Day 82 at Cherbourg Airport, France, June 5, 2026. We honor the courage and resolve of U.S. warfighters who triumphed over tyranny, securing a future of freedom and hope for generations to come. The commemoration of D-Day honors not only the bravery of U.S. service members, but also the contributions and sacrifices of Allied nations, including the heroism of French resistance fighters. We honor the legacy of D-Day in our commitment to freedom, in our unity as nations, and in our determination to build a better future. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Sabrina Fuller-Judd)
