Handful of D-Day Vets Attend 80-Year Anniversary

The June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France was unprecedented in scale and audacity, using the largest-ever armada of ships, troops, planes and vehicles to punch a hole in Adolf Hitler’s defenses in western Europe and change the course of World War II. Don’t forget what we did, say the handful of living veterans of D-Day, now mostly centenarians. “They probably wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t be successful,” says WWII bomber Bill Wall, 101.
