SAINTE-MARIE-DU-MONT, France (June 6, 2018) D-Day veteran John Roman (center) and Maj. Gen. Mark W. Palzer, commander of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command (center left), salute for the playing of French and U.S. taps during the Utah Beach Federal Monument Ceremony. This year marks the 74th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 -- most commonly known as D-Day. An epic multinational amphibious and airborne operation, D-Day forged partnerships and reinforced transatlantic bonds that remain strong today. Overall, U.S. service members from 20 units in Europe and the U.S. participated in events and ceremonies May 30-June 7, 2018, in almost 40 locations throughout the Normandy region of France as part of Joint Task Force Normandy 74.
