More than 60 veterans flew from Dallas to France for D-Day 80th anniversary ceremonies, including visits to iconic sites and honoring fallen service members.
American Airlines facilitated the flight for veterans aged 96-107, some of whom are Medal of Honor recipients from later wars, joined by Rosie the Riveters.
The events entail wreath-laying at American Cemetery and iconic Normandy beaches, honoring Allied troops' sacrifices during the significant D-Day landings of 1944.
Commemoration organizer emphasized the importance of thanking veterans and ensuring their sacrifices are remembered and appreciated, particularly as they age.
