On June 6, 1944 U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs under darkness to attack a fortified German position as part of the Allied D-Day invasion. Veterans, families, visitors and military personnel are gathering in Normandy to commemorate the June 6, 75th anniversary of D-Day, which heralded the Allied advance towards Germany and victory about 11 months later.
