Take a stroll down memory lane to the shores of Normandy, France, as we honor the indomitable spirit and valor displayed by the Allied forces during the historic D-Day invasion in 1944.
The Allied landings on the coast of Normandy marked a significant turning point in World War II. Approximately 132,700 soldiers, primarily from the USA, UK, and Canada, stormed the beaches, changing the tide of the war.
In this year's 81st commemoration, France's Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, paid homage to the international comrades who risked everything to liberate us from the clutch of tyranny at Utah Beach. Lecornu urged the nations of the USA, UK, Europe, and Canada to band together, embodying the unwavering courage that defeated diabolical hate 81 years ago.
Our own Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, showered accolades upon the ordinary men with extraordinary guts who fought relentlessly, guaranteeing our progeny and grandchildren could live free from the shackles of war. Today, France and the United States remain steadfast in their resolve to face down threats to our freedom, as - Hegseth emphasized - we stand shoulder to shoulder, honoring the legends who came before us.
Even the military attaché of the German Embassy in France, Markus Reinhardt, acknowledged the Allied landing as a historical watershed moment in the Second World War. He lauded the liberation of Western Europe from the obscene yoke of totalitarianism and thanked those who chose forgiveness over retribution after the war, paving the way for reconciliation.
