US paratroopers dash over Mont Saint-Michel for D-Day 75th anniversary
/Some 135 US Armed Forces soldiers parachuted over the Merveille on Saturday, May 18, 2019, watched by 1,500 spectators. A “remembrance” performance which has been repeated on June 6 for the commemorations of the Battle of Normandy. Among these soldiers, Sergeant Major Matt Kitchin, from US Special Forces, has just parachuted. This American soldier, smiling, confides on this experience: "This is the best place in France to jump.” His grandfather was a paratrooper at Sainte-Mère-Église in 1944.
