The Golden Knights joined representatives from the 173rd Airborne Brigade and the Round Canopy Parachute Team to orient French school children to paratrooper equipment during a D-Day 82 exchange at Picauville, France, June 2, 2026.
On June 6, 1944, the United States military participated in the largest multinational amphibious landing and operational military airdrop in history. This assault led to France’s liberation from the German military and the eventual defeat of the Nazis. By the end of the D-Day invasion, more than 9,000 allied troops were dead or wounded.
