President Biden to Honor D-Day Heroes at 80th Anniversary Commemoration
As the world marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, President Joe Biden is set to pay tribute to the brave American soldiers who stormed the shores of Normandy to liberate a continent from tyranny. The historic event, which saw 73,000 courageous troops charging forward through heavy fire, demonstrated the United States’ commitment to defending democracy.
President Ronald Reagan famously spoke at Pointe du Hoc on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, praising the heroes of the Greatest Generation for their sacrifice in the name of democracy. Now, four decades later, President Biden continues to carry forward the tradition of American leadership in defense of freedom and democracy.
After four years of American retreat from global leadership, President Biden has reaffirmed the country’s commitment to standing up for democracy and supporting allies around the world. His response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, in particular, has shown his dedication to upholding the values of freedom and security.
In contrast, the apparent Republican candidate for the presidency has rejected the legacy of American world leadership, leaving allies isolated and alone. President Trump’s actions, including attempts to overturn a free and fair election and inciting violence at the Capitol, stand in stark contrast to the values of freedom and peace that so many Americans have fought to defend.
As President Biden prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, he will reaffirm America’s commitment to defending democracy and honoring the sacrifices of those who have given their lives in its defense. The event will serve as a reminder of the enduring values that Americans hold dear and the importance of standing strong in the face of threats to democracy.
