An U.S. Army color guard participates in a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, June 6, 2014, before the U.S. Army Europe Band begins the national anthems of the U.S. and France. The ceremony was dedicated to the memory of the Soldiers who gave their lives 70 years ago fighting to end Nazi occupation of Europe. During the ceremony U.S. President Barack Obama and French President François Hollande spoke to more than 10,000 attendees, including approximately 400 World War II veterans. The morning of June 6, 1944, Allied forces conducted a massive airborne assault and amphibious landing in the Normandy region of France. The invasion marked the beginning of the final phase of World War II in Europe, which ended with the surrender of Germany the following May. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Daniel Cole/Released)
