U.S. Army Paratrooper Sgt. 1st Class Pat Smith, United States Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), from Fort Bragg, N.C., stands at parade rest during a ceremony held to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, Ranville British Cemetery, France, Jun. 6, 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 on June 6, 1944. The commemoration, which includes ceremonies for the 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.
