Veterans and officials gathered Sunday for the 77th commemoration of D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 allied troops participated in the largest seaborne invasion in history. Survivors of the invasion said they’re eternally honored to have served.
“When I was walking up that hill in World War II, I thought it was a tremendous privilege, and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” said Normandy Veteran Ash Rothlein. “Never give up, the American people will meet any challenge and win it.”
