U.S. Army SOF from 1-10 Special Forces Group along with service members from U.S. Special Operations Command Europe, USSOCAF, and 352d Special Operations Wing, conducted a ceremonial D-Day freefall operation over Normandy, France. The operation was part of the 78th celebration honoring the allied forces who descended from the air and bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy during World War II. Because of the brave service members that fought and died during the Normandy invasion, we continue to train and operate with our allies to combat tyranny every day.
