CARENTAN, France - A French boy thanks veterans for freeing his country at the annual Cabbage Patch ceremony and parade. Soldiers and civilians gathered for the ceremony and parade, commemorating the Battle of Carentan during the allied invasion of Normandy during World War II. More than 380 service members from Europe and affiliated D-Day historic units are participating in the 72nd anniversary as part of Joint Task Force D-Day 72. The Task Force, based in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, is supporting local events across Normandy, from May 30 - June 6, 2016, to commemorate the selfless actions by all the allies on D-Day that continue to resonate 72 years later.
