Liberty Bell rings in Normandy commemorating the Liberation of France

U.S. paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade join French and German counterparts at the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Carentan, France, June 6, 2026. Thousands of bells across Normandy sounded off at exactly 7:44p.m (1944 in military time), a deliberate reminder of the liberation of France in 1944, shortly after the D-Day invasion by Allied forces.
