PEREIRA: Welcome back to NEW DAY. Of course, today, we're marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day this morning. Several who served during World War II went on to become great political leaders of the 20th Century. They've all left or passed on or left office except for one. I want you to take a look at this photo? Do you recognize this young woman? That is Queen Elizabeth II. Back then, she was 18 years old Princess Elizabeth. She was a mechanic and military truck driver in the women's auxiliary territorial service for the British Army. Of course, now she is 88 years old. She's the monarch and the only living head of state who actually served in World War II. Quite significant that she is there today and in such an honorable role -- Kate.</s>BOLDUAN: Absolutely. A fascinating story in how she actually did work during World War II. Michaela, thank you so much. Coming up next on NEW DAY, much more on D-Day celebrations, commemorations, plus we also have this. A student put his life on the line to stop a gunman, and this morning he's being hailed a hero. We are going to be back live in Seattle with more details on that deadly college shooting.</s>CUOMO: You know what's happening this Sunday at 9:00 p.m.? Don't you? "PARTS UNKNOWN," of course, Anthony Bourdain accepts a food challenge on Brazil. He dines on a poisonous blowfish with an unexpected side effect. Take a look.</s>ANTHONY BOURDAIN, CNN HOST, "PARTS UNKNOWN": What do you need to know about Salvador? It's a feast of the senses. You've got your color, your music, great taste, a level of just magic and sensuality and -- how can I put this delicate? The first time I came here I thought to myself, it looks like everybody in this town is either on their way to have sex or coming back from having sex. It's a special place.
