World War II veterans, along with heads of state and other dignitaries, have gathered on the beaches of Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The commemoration event brings together those who fought in the historic invasion that played a crucial role in the Allied victory in World War II. The veterans, now in their twilight years, are returning to the same shores where they landed on June 6, 1944, to honor the sacrifices made and the lives lost during the pivotal battle. The anniversary serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of those who took part in one of the most significant military operations in history.
