D-Day veterans honor fallen on Normandy beaches 80th anniversary
At Omaha and other D-Day sites in Normandy, World War II veterans older by the decade gathered with leaders to honor the dead and living. President Biden and European leaders linked the 1944 sacrifice to today’s Ukraine war, while Macron awarded honors to American pilots, a British volunteer, and others. Veterans recalled courage, age, and the responsibility to remember as crowds watched ceremonies along Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches.
