A group of U.S. veterans, all in their 90s, returned to Normandy, France, for the 75th anniversary of the D-day landings at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. Paris-based photographer Kiran Ridley made portraits of the veterans as they attended ceremonies commemorating the June 6, 1944, amphibious invasion, which according to historical estimates killed 2,501 Americans.
