Eight miles from Utah Beach, near the shores of Normandy, France, officials from the French city of Carentan, U.S. and German soldiers, and French sailors and civil servants honored WWII veterans at the site of what was once a cabbage patch in 1944 with a wreath-laying ceremony. This year marks the 74th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 - most commonly known as D-Day. An epic multinational amphibious and airborne operation, D-Day forged partnerships and reinforced transatlantic bonds that remain strong today. Overall, U.S. service members from 20 units in Europe and the U.S. will participate in the events and ceremonies May 30 - June 7, 2018, in almost 40 locations throughout the Normandy region of France as part of Joint Task Force Normandy 74.
