GRAINGES, France – Dutch, German and U.S. paratroopers joined a ceremony held French townspeople in Graignes, south of Carentan, where U.S. 82nd Airborne Division fought during the early morning hours of June 6, 1944. The paratroopers had been dropped off course. About 100 paratroopers held off 2,000 Germans for 2 days. Some escaped with a few townspeople. Others were burned in the town church. A month later, on July 9, U.S. Soldiers liberated the town. The ceremony was held on the church grounds.

Last year when I attended the 65th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion, I left Normandy, France feeling the proudest I’ve ever been wearing the U.S. Army uniform. So this year when I boarded the MC-130 Shadow aircraft to Normandy, I was excited to return to a place where the American Soldier is so adored and appreciated.

I finally arrived in Northern France to St. Mere Eglise (SME). My hotel is located just to the outskirts of town and was an easy walk into the town square. It is a surreal feeling to walk through such a historic location without the aid of an Xbox game controller while playing the latest Call of Duty video game or through a production that either starred or was directed by Tom Hanks. Here it was in real life and it really feels like history is alive here.This small town was founded in the 11th century but will forever be known as one of the first towns to be liberated from Nazi Germany by the Allied Forces during the Normandy landings to include the 82nd Airborne and U.S. 101st Airborne Divisions on June 6th, 1944.
