Today, veterans are returning to Normandy to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and ensure that the world never forgets their sacrifice.

Among them is 101-year-old D-Day veteran Jake Larson, who spoke with Christiane in the Normandy American Cemetery.
Tom Hanks on Remembering D-Day 80 Years Later
S2024 E6244 - 4m 39s
When we think of D-Day, perhaps the most vivid imagery comes not from the newsreels of the time, but from cinema -- for example, the visceral, haunting battlefield scenes from "Saving Private Ryan." That movie’s star, Tom Hanks, is a history buff, and traveled to Normandy for the anniversary commemoration. Christiane spoke with him there about the meaning of this anniversary.
