U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade and 82nd Airborne Division, alongside German and Danish paratroopers, walk into a C-130J Super Hercules as they prepare to drop onto the beaches of Normandy, France, for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, at Cherbourg – Maupertus Airport, France, June 9, 2024. On June 6, 1944, strength of alliance, dedicated resolve and a multi-national, multi-domain operation won the day. Overall, the successful Allied landings created the basis for Europe’s future stability, as well as the reality that international collaboration could ultimately overcome totalitarianism.
