Original Caption: World War II re-enactors make final preparation to drive their Sherman tank to a ceremony June 4, 2015, to commemorate the U.S. Army’s efforts to liberate Montebourg, France, after the D-Day landings. More than 300 people including service members from the United States, France, and Germany attended the ceremony. More than 380 U.S. service members from Europe and affiliated D-Day historical units are participating in the 71st Anniversary as part of Joint Task Force D-Day 71. The task force, based in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, is supporting local events across Normandy, from June 2-8, 2015, to commemorate the selfless actions by all the Allies on D-Day that continue to resonate 71 years later.
