D-Day veterans return for Normandy tribute fifty years on
Elite Rangers who scaled Pointe du Hoc recall the brutal assault on D-Day. Veterans from the U S Army 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions, joined by allies, met French officials and world leaders at Utah and Omaha beaches to mark the 50th anniversary. Presidents Clinton and Mitterrand and Queen Elizabeth II attended ceremonies amid wind and rain, with survivors recounting the mission and the cost in lives.
