Airborne Operation DDay74
Defense Media Activity - Europe Africa
June 3, 2018 | 6:03
Paratroopers from 5 countries came together to fill the skies over La Fiere to honor the paratroopers that jumped 74 years ago for Operation Overlord. Romania, United States, Germany, France and Dutch all jumped coming to over 600 paratroopers.

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.
