D-Day
Torrington, Conn., City Hall during a ceremony to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of D-Day. The flag being held by the two veterans was flown on one of the landing crafts during the invasion. A Torrington veteran carried this flag through the invasion and all during his war time and returned home with it intact. Now, after 70 years, it is so fragile that it could only be held and not raised on the flagpole.
