Honoring D-Day Generation’s Lasting Legacy

Many World War II veterans are in France now. They are there on the beaches of Normandy again. These old soldiers want to say freedom is important.

The veterans went to France to remember fallen soldiers. People in France are treating them very well this week. Normandy was the first part of France freed in 1944.

Omaha Beach was a very dangerous place. Soldiers gave their lives on that beach. Their brave acts made strong friendships between Europe, the US, and Canada.

Families in Normandy tell D-Day stories. They are happy to meet the World War II veterans. People say \"Thank you!\" and want to take pictures with them.

Some veterans are very old, like 101-year-old Arlester Brown. He served in a laundry unit during the war. Another veteran, Jack Stowe, said French people are kind to them and they send the “sweetest letters”.
