Several ceremonies took place in
Gourbesville to commemorate the fighting around the village that
took place on the night of June 5 to 6, 1944. U.S. paratroopers
of the 101st Airborne Division were in the spotlight: an information
panel recalling the events of June 1944 and also a monument representing
a U.S. paratrooper were inaugurated. The veterans were warmly
welcomed and honored during these commemorations in the presence
of U.S. authorities, in particular general Miller.
