U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Charles Whittington, 29th Infantry Division commander, and a French translator, speak at a memorial ceremony at Omaha Beach National Guard monument to pay respect to veterans who served during World War II June 5, 2015, Normandy, France. More than 380 service members from Europe and affiliated D-Day historical units are participating in the 71st anniversary as part of Joint Task Force D-Day 71. The task force, based in Saint Mere Eglise, France, is supporting local events across Normandy, from June 2-8, 2015, to commemorate the selfless actions by all the Allies on D-Day that continue to resonate 71 years later.
