Veterans commemorated the 80th Anniversary of D-Day during two ceremonies at the Saline American Legion Post 322 Thursday.
On June 6, 1944, the Allies stormed the beaches in Normandy, France, establishing a foothold in Europe that was important to the efforts to liberate Nazi-occupied territories and the defeat of Germany in World War II.
On Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m., the veterans honored the Americans who fought at Normandy with a bugle reveille and salute.
Then at 5 p.m., veterans offered a prayer, playing of the bugle and a 21-gun salute.
Air Force veteran Curtis Leanna gave the prayer during the afternoon service.
"It's important to celebrate those who gave so much to give us what we have today," Leanna said.
Army veteran Paul Schwimmer has stood on Omaha Beach with veterans who landed on D-Day.
"It was an amazing experience. And the incredible thing was the French people in Normandy. They remembered. They understood how important it was. And they were so grateful for the sacrifices that were made," Schwimmer said.

Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
