Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the heroes of D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, thousands of brave men and women changed the course of history through their determination and commitment to freedom.

As we remember their extraordinary service, let us also reflect on the values they fought to protect—peace, unity, and hope for future generations.

We will never forget their sacrifice. Lest we forget.
