U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joseph Apolinar, 57th Rescue Squadron survival, evasion, resistance and escape specialist primary jumpmaster, passes out wings to Belgian jumpers during a commemorative event for D-Day 80 at the Iron Mike drop zone in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, June 9, 2024. The commemorative event brought in thousands of spectators to watch 20 aircraft from the U.S., France, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and Germany support the static line jump of 1,311 military members. This was all in memory of what happened 80 years ago during Operation Overlord, commonly known as D-Day. By never forgetting what happened here eight decades ago, we pay fitting tribute to the D-Day and World War II veterans as we preserve their heritage to secure a future of peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic area.
