Summary

A sandtable of the events of D-Day overlooks Omaha Beach. Service Members of Joint Task Force D-Day 71 visited historic D-Day sites June 2, 2015, as part of the events to commemorate the 71st anniversary, one of which was the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. The cemetery is one of 14 permanent American World War II military cemeteries on foreign soil; it's the final resting place of 9, 387 service members.
