D-Day: Down to Earth: Return of the 507th recounts the history of the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment through remarkable battles in World War II and the inspiring culmination of its story 60 years later. Men from the 507th dropped into Normandy on D-Day and fought with distinction in several crucial engagements. After the war, the regiment was quietly disbanded. Its accomplishments were nearly forgotten until the summer of 2002, when surviving members of the 507th returned to Normandy to take part in a moving series of events that gave completion to their story. D-Day: Down to Earth is an engaging and heartfelt story of citizen soldiers motivated to reconnect for one final mission: to honor their fallen brothers and establish a legacy for future generations.
