Biden, World Leaders, and Veterans Mark 80th Anniversary of D-Day in France
ai generated text
The 80th anniversary of D-Day was commemorated by world leaders, veterans, and dignitaries on the beaches of Normandy, France. The event marked the Allied forces' landing in Nazi-occupied France on June 6, 1944, which led to the liberation of Western Europe from German occupation. US President Joe Biden delivered a speech warning that democracy is under threat globally, citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine as an example. He emphasized the importance of defending democratic values and freedoms, drawing parallels between World War II and the current situation.
There are no words to describe the immensity of the debt we owe you.
Our way of life did not happen by accident, and it won't continue without effort.
We must all continue to stand for democracy day in day out, we owe it for future generation.
While in combat, a grenade landed at his feet. He was only 21 and he said: 'Not today.' He picked up the grenade and swiftly threw it back.
Their courage gave us Germans the chance of a new beginning.
If he were simply talking about the commemorations of the D-Day landings, and the 80th anniversary, and the importance it has in our history, I don't see any problem with that, obviously.
But they're already announcing that he's going to mention the international situation and that he's going to talk about the European elections!
France will never forget those who died for her.
Thank you to the Ukrainian people for their bravery, for their taste of freedom. We are here and we will not be weakened.
Faced with the return of war to our continent [in Ukraine] … and in the face of those who claim to change borders by force or rewrite history, let us be worthy of those who landed here.
You came here to make France a free nation. You're back here today at home, if I may say.
Eighty years ago, on D-Day, the 6th of June 1944, our nation – and those which stood alongside it – faced what my grandfather, King George VI, described as the supreme test.
Our obligation to remember what they stood for and what they achieved for us all can never diminish.
Our gratitude is unfailing, and our admiration eternal.
We recall the lesson that comes to us, again and again, across the decades: free nations must stand together to oppose tyranny.
You risked everything and we owe you everything.
Allies defended Europe's freedom then, and Ukrainians do so now. Unity prevailed then, and true unity can prevail today.
