FILE - In this June 6, 2004 file photo, French President Jacques Chirac, left, greets Queen Elizabeth II, of Britain, and her husband Prince Philip at the British military cemetery in Bayeux, northwestern France, during ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. The perils of World War II directly shaped the lives of Elizabeth, 88, and Philip, 92. The anniversary is so heartfelt that the royal couple is preparing to cross the English Channel once more, this time on a Eurostar train through the Channel Tunnel Elizabeth helped 20 years ago.

ADVANCE FOR STORY SLUGGED D-DAY FRENCH GI BY LORI HINNANT FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2014. In this photo dated July 1944 and provided by Dargols' family shows Bernard Dargols posing next to a Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep in Normandy, France. When the young Frenchman left Paris at age 18, the plan was to go to New York for a year and learn the sewing machine trade. Six years later, Bernard Dargols found himself crossing the English Channel in a U.S. Army uniform, sloshing ashore at Omaha Beach to a homeland that had stripped his Jewish family of their rights and sent some to die in concentration camps. This French GI, now in his 90s, recounts to AP his remarkable story. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Bernard Dargols' family)

Pedestrians and traffic cross the Truckee River in Reno, Nev., Tuesday, May 27, 2014, on the historic Virginia Street bridge. Built in 1905, demolition and reconstruction of the bridge has been postponed perhaps into next year due to a delay in federal permitting for a comprehensive flood control project. The bridge became legendary after it was portrayed by Hollywood and the news media as the site where people tossed wedding rings into the Truckee after securing divorces at the nearby courthouse.
