Tuesday marks the 73rd anniversary of D-Day, one of the most decisive and iconic battles of World War II. On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed on Omaha Beach, along the coast of Normandy, France, as part of an assault on Nazi Germany.
Various public and private entities raise funds to help surviving veterans travel to France free of charge to commemorate the invasion in person. One of the goals is to help bridge memories across generations.
