Today, we recognize the 6th of June, 1944.

80 years ago today, American troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France for the D-Day invasion. It changed the course of World War II.

On Thursday, they held what might end up as the last commemoration of the survivors of the Normandy invasion.

One of the continued commemorations takes place Friday afternoon in France.
Nine members of Congress will parachute into France as a rememberance of the military men that parachuted onto the beaches.

One of those Congressmembers is Keith Self from the third district right here in north Texas and he joined us on the KRLD Newsline from France.
