Joy and sorrow mark Normandy D-Day ceremonies
A mix of joy and sadness colored Normandy commemorations as D-Day veterans in their 90s returned to Omaha Beach Colleville sur Mer. They recalled fallen comrades and reflected on Ukraine, with U S Army medic Charles Shay noting the desire for peace and Julia Kelly performing the sage ritual. The ceremony honored about 160,000 Allied troops and the 9,386 graves at the American Cemetery, as Gen. Milley vowed sustained support to Ukraine amid renewed war in Europe.
