Joe Biden: “To look away from Ukraine would be to forget what happened here” at D-Day 80th anniversary commemoration.

Using the D-Day observances in Normandy, the US president and Emmanuel Macron demonstrated their solidarity for Volodymyr Zelensky against the Russian onslaught.

There were loud cheers for the veterans even before the heads of state and government arrived to commemorate the landing on June 6, 1944, which is 80 years ago. In the midst of the Ukrainian conflict, Volodymyr Zelensky and his spouse received an even warmer welcome from the Macron couple, treating them like practically regular guests. Everyone had a chance to say a few things while they waited for Joe Biden, where the allied forces advanced in an attempt to drive out the Nazi occupants.

On Thursday, June 6, the municipality of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer (Calvados) hosted the international commemoration of D-Day. The event was sad and emotional, oscillating constantly between the heartbreaks of the present and the agonizing memories of the past.

Warships impose their anchor on the horizon. The 43,000-agent strong security system is intimidating. To prevent accidents and traffic congestion, the freeway that connects Caen to the seaside is closed to vehicles. However, the mood is friendly and the air feels like spring.

On Thursday, President Biden and prominent American friends visited Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of the allied forces’ D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France. Less than a year after the heinous air and sea invasion, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi German forces were routed in Europe, signaling the start of the end of World War II.

Together, Mr. Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commemorated the largest-ever seaborne invasion and the most decisive victory of the Western allies in the war. Mr. Biden is in France for the duration of the weekend to commemorate the anniversary of D-Day and has scheduled meetings with the heads of important allies.

In remarks on Thursday, Mr. Biden stated, “What the allies did here 80 years ago, far surpassed anything we could have done on our own.” “Together, we won the war.”

“The men who fought here became heroes — given an audacious mission, knowing the probability of dying was real,” he stated. “Nevertheless, they persisted because they were certain that some things were worth fighting and dying for. Worth it, freedom. Worth it is democracy. America is worthwhile. Later, today, and forever.”

Prior to a memorial service at the Normandy American Cemetery on Thursday, Mr. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden personally met with WWII veterans, giving them coins designed to honor the anniversary of D-Day. He asked about their hometowns, laughed around and spoke with a few of the soldiers, thanking them for their service and referring to them as the finest generation ever.

Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and other members of Congress from both parties attended the commemorative ceremony on Thursday, when the president gave remarks.

It is the highest honor to be able to congratulate you here in Normandy on behalf of the people of the United States and its commander in chief. Each and every one of you. Mr. Biden addressed the WWII veterans in the audience and said, “God love you.”

The president of the United States cited Winston Churchill, the leader of Britain during World War II, stating that he “called what happened here the greatest, most complicated operation ever” and that everyone was waiting to see how the “great crusade to free Europe from tyranny” would end.

Speaking of the tens of thousands of American soldiers that charged into a hail of cannon and mortar fire as they flooded into the beaches of Normandy that day, Mr. Biden stated, “At least eighty percent were expected to die in a matter of hours. That was the approximation. However, they exhibited bravery. They completed the task with determination.

“The men who fought here became heroes, not because they were the strongest our toughest or fiercest, although they were, but because they were given an audacious mission, knowing, every one of them knew, the probability of dying was real,” said Vice President Biden. “Yet, they carried it out. They were certain that there are some things that are worth fighting and losing your life for. It’s worth it to have freedom. It is worthwhile to practice democracy. America is a worthwhile investment. It’s worth it for the world. Later, today, and forever.”
