U.S. Army Maj. Gen. David W. Gardner, Commanding General of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), gives remarks during the Cabbage Patch ceremony at Cabbage Patch Square in Carentan, France, June 3, 2026. Located eight miles inland from Utah Beach and behind what were once enemy lines, Cabbage Patch Square marks the site where U.S. service members began the bloody, close-combat fight to liberate Carentan during World War II. Following the ceremony, Gardner, Command Sgt. Maj. Christopher C. Goodart and Screaming Eagles marched from Cabbage Patch Square to the Signal Monument near Carentan City Hall during events commemorating the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. (U.S. Army video by Capt.
