Brig. Gen. James Paul Sanders (right), Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), and Préfet maritime de Cherbourg Marc Véran share a moment with members of a French Veterans Service Organization following the unveiling of a French Resistance monument in the town square of Sainte-Mère-Église, France, June 3, 2024. The monument celebrates French civilians who dedicated themselves to la Résistance between 1940 and 1944 deterring Nazi oppression and ultimately paving the way for Allied forces to invade and liberate Europe. Commemorative events such as these serve to honor the sacrifices of U.S. service members made 80 years ago in securing peace and security, and inspiring future generations to value a collective vision of global peace.
