D-Day 80th Anniversary Commemoration of Normandy Invasion
173rd Airborne Brigade
June 6, 2024 | 8:06
This B-roll package features President Joseph R. Biden, the 46th president of the United States, joined by Emmanuel Macron, President of France, and Lloyd Austin, United States Secretary of Defense, as they mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings that liberated Europe from Nazi occupation, Normandy American Cemetery, Normandy, France, June 6, 2024.
U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, 82nd Airborne Division, and others can be seen accompanying World War II Veterans as they enter the stage.
U.S. military personnel and equipment commemorate the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, widely known as D-Day. Highlighting the Department of Defense's continued commitment to honor the historic significance of D-Day and the sacrifices made, this event connects the strength of the alliance and dedicated resolve required during WWII to NATO, which strengthens the unity today. Participating service members from approximately 25 units are taking part in approximately 120 commemorative events from May 30 to June 10, from approximately 40 French communities throughout the Normandy region -- including a U.S.-hosted ceremony at Normandy American Cemetery on June 6, and a commemorative airborne operation on June 9.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
