Thorpe Abbots memorial ceremony
American and British World War II veterans on a tour of significant sites in the European Theater render honors during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner at Thorpe Abbots June 1. A small ceremony at the airfield included eyewitness accounts of the D-Day invasion, some given by the veterans themselves and some read from interview notes by college students, and the laying of a memorial wreath at the site.
