The 207th Military Intelligence Brigade (Theater) color guard supports the General Roosevelt ceremony, Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, June 5, 2026. Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was one of two generals directing troops at Utah Beach during the Normandy landings, for which he received the Medal of Honor. The 82nd anniversary of D-Day reminds us of the courage, sacrifice, and unity of U.S. and Allied forces who fought to liberate the world from tyranny. We honor the sacrifices of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy and parachuted behind enemy lines, ensuring their legacy endures for future generations. (U.S. Army video by Maj. Brian Andries)
