Description
World War II veterans gather in southern England ahead of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings into northern France, at the site where Allied commanders set the stage for the invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. The landings on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944 were one of the main military operations that led to the end of World War II. "I think future generations should grasp the fact that wars only lead to misery, sorrow, and hatred," says 99-year-old Robert Gravells, a D-Day veteran who served with the Royal Navy.
