U.S., allied forces remember D-Day sacrifices in Picauville
Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Ed Strickland (center) and members of his family look over the engine of a crashed C-47 Skytrain transport June 1, 2012 in Picauville, France. U.S. and allied forces attended a commemorative ceremony in the town square honoring the Airmen and soldiers who lost their lives when their C-47 aircraft was brought down by German anti-aircraft artillery at 1:20 a.m., June 6, 1944 as part of the famous Normandy D-Day invasion of France. Strickland is a C-130 Hercules navigator assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Members of the Air Force Reserve Command's 302nd, 910th and 440th Airlift Wings took part in this year's 68th Anniversary commemoration of the historic invasion. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
