On June 6, the 67th anniversary of D-Day, the day the Allied Forces invaded the northern shore of France known as Normandy and began the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control in World War II, it seems fitting to read this remarkable story, originally posted on boingboing.

The photo above is a photo of a wedding dress made from a B-29 pilot's life-saving parachute. It is part of the Smithsonian's collection of remarkable artifacts.
