France Holds a Ceremony to Commemorate the Normandy Landings

VOA News

   A ceremony to honor the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the
   D-Day landings in 1944 was held on Omaha Beach in Saint-Laurent-Sur-Mer
   in France Saturday.

   Due to the coronavirus restrictions, the commemoration was much smaller
   than previous annual events, when tens of thousands or people
   congregated on the northern French beaches of Normandy.
