US World War II Veteran veteran and actor Charles E. Durning poses after being awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honor by French Consul Philippe Larrieu on April 22, 2008 in Beverly Hills, California. The award is the highest honor that France bestows on its citizens and foreign nationals. In recognition of the 60th anniversary of the landing of the Allied forces at Normandy, France on June 6, 1944, approximately 100 Legion of Honor medals are awarded every year to US World War II veterans with very distinguished records in France.
