Veterans recall D-Day heroics 55 years later
American World War II veterans gathered along Normandy's coast to mark the 55th anniversary of the D-Day landings. About 1,000 veterans and 1,500 family members retraced battles, remembering Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. They urged peace and reflected on the cost of war as Kosovo and Europe faced renewed tension.
