Normandy tribute frames last D-Day veterans on coast
World War II veterans now centenarians return to Normandy for the 81st anniversary week. Nearly two dozen survivors from Europe and the Pacific meet families and French students who seek autographs and stories. Veterans speak of sacrifice, memory, and passing duties to younger generations as aging bodies and dwindling numbers frame a final royal welcome on Omaha Beach and at the Normandy American Cemetery.
