U.S. Army retired Col. Keith Nightingale discusses events of the Utah beach landing as U.S. Army paratroopers from various airborne units, and British paratroopers from the 4th Para Regiment, commemorate the 68th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, Utah Beach, France, June 2, 2012. Paratroopers from the Allied nations gather in Normandy each year as a remembrance to the military service members who fought in the effort to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II June 6, 1944. The commemoration, which includes ceremonies for the over 9,000 service members who gave their lives during the invasion and airborne operations, allows the countries involved to pay homage to those who fell 68 years ago.
