Highlights

Tornado warnings north of Washington, D.C., set the stage for the historic events that unfolded on June 5th, 1944.

Nazi Germany's conquest of Europe through force, lies, and racial superiority ideology led to the Holocaust and millions of deaths.

Hitler's belief in the weakness of democracies and the inevitability of dictators' rule was challenged on the coast of Normandy.

President Macron and other dignitaries honored the veterans who faced the ultimate test of freedom and tyranny on D-Day.

Winston Churchill described the Normandy invasion as the greatest and most complicated operation ever.

Operation Overlord was meticulously planned and launched under the leadership of Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower.

Allied forces, including 12 nations, prepared for the largest amphibious assault in history, awaiting a brief weather window.

General Eisenhower's visit to the 101st Airborne highlighted the bravery and resolve of paratroopers facing high casualty rates.

Nearly 160,000 Allied troops descended on Normandy, marking the beginning of the crusade to free Europe.

The sacrifices of soldiers who stormed the beaches, parachuted in, or landed by glider were instrumental in the battle for freedom.

Support from sailors, aviators, and the courageous service of people of color and women played a crucial role in the Allied victory.

The unity of the Allies, fighting with the same courage for the same purpose, was unbreakable and pivotal to the success of D-Day.

The establishment of NATO and the inclusion of more nations, such as Finland and Sweden, signifies the strength of international alliances.

The ongoing struggle between dictatorship and freedom, exemplified by the invasion of Ukraine, underscores the importance of standing against tyranny.

The United States and NATO, along with over 50 countries, stand in solidarity with Ukraine against Russian aggression.

The speech concludes with a call to remember the sacrifices made at Normandy and to continue defending democracy and freedom.

AS WELL.

AMERICA'S UNIQUE ABILITY

TO BRING COUNTRIES TOGETHER

IS NOT AN DENIAL, A SOURCE

OF OUR STRENGTH AND OUR POWER.

>> ISOLATION WAS NOT THE ANSWER

80 YEARS AGO AND IS THE ANSWER

TODAY.

WE KNOW THE DARK FORCES

THAT THEY SHARE POST-WATERGATE

INSTEAD OF YEARS AGO.

THEY NEVER FADE.

AGGRESSION AND GREED.

THE DESIRE TO DOMINATE CONTROL

,TO CHANGE BORDERS BY FORCE.

THESE ARE PERENNIAL.

THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN

A DICTATORSHIP AND FREEDOM

IS UNENDING HERE IN EUROPE.

>> WE SEE ONE STARK EXAMPLE.

UKRAINE HAS BEEN INVADED BY A

TYRANT BENT ON DOMINATION.

UKRAINIANS ARE FIGHTING

EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE,

SUFFERING GREAT LOSSES,

BUT NEVER BACKING DOWN.

THEY'VE INFLICTED

ON THE RUSSIAN AGGRESSION,

THEY SUFFERED TREMENDOUS LOSSES

IN RUSSIA.

THE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING.

350,000 RUSSIAN TROOPS DEAD OR

WOUNDED.

NEARLY 1 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE

LEFT RUSSIA BECAUSE.

>> THEY CAN NO LONGER SEE

A FUTURE IN RUSSIA.

THE UNITED STATES AND NATO

AND A COALITION OF MORE THAN

50 COUNTRIES STANDING STRONG

WITH UKRAINE.

WE WILL NOT WALK AWAY BECAUSE

IF WE DO UKRAINE BE SUBJUGATED

AND WILL NOT END THERE.

UKRAINE'S NEIGHBORS WILL BE

THREATENED.

ALL OF EUROPE WILL BE

THREATENED.

>> AND MAKE NO MISTAKE,

THE AUTOCRATS OF THE WORLD ARE

WATCHING CLOSELY TO SEE

WHAT HAPPENS IN UKRAINE, TO SEE

IF WE LET THIS ILLEGAL

AGGRESSION GO UNCHECKED.

WE CAN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

TO SURRENDER, TO BULLY, TO BOW

DOWN DICTATORS IS SIMPLY

UNTHINKABLE.

WE'RE READY TO DO THAT.

IT MEANS MAYBE FORGETTING

WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

THESE HALLOWED BEACHES.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, WE WILL NOT

BOW DOWN.

WE WILL NOT FORGET.

LET ME END WITH THIS.

HISTORY TELLS US FREEDOM IS NOT

FREE.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE PRICE

OF FREEDOM, COME HERE

TO NORMANDY.

COME TO NORMANDY AND LOOK.

GO.

THE OTHER CEMETERIES IN EUROPE

WHERE OUR FALLEN HEROES REST.

GO BACK HOME TO ARLINGTON

CEMETERY.

TOMORROW I WILL PAY RESPECTS

AT POINT PARK.

GO THERE AS WELL.

AND REMEMBER THE PRICE OF ON

CHECK CHARITIES, THE BLOOD

OF THE YOUNG AND THE BRAVE

IN THEIR GENERATION.

THEIR HOUR OF TRIAL.

THE ALLIED FORCES OF D-DAY DID

THEIR DUTY.

NOW, THE QUESTION FOR US IS,

IN OUR OUR TRIAL, WILL WE DO

OURS?

WE LIVING AT A TIME WHEN

DEMOCRACY IN MORE AT RISK

ACROSS THE WORLD THAN

THEY POINT SINCE THE END

OF WORLD WAR TWO, SINCE THESE

BEACHES RESTORE FORMED IN 1944.

NOW WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES

WHAT WE STAND AGAINST TYRANNY,

AGAINST EVIL.

AGAINST CRUSHING BRUTALITY

OF THE IRON FIST.

WE STAND FOR FREEDOM.

WE DEFEND DEMOCRACY.

WE STAND TOGETHER.

MY ANSWER IS YES.

AND CAN BE YES.

WE'RE NOT FAR OFF FROM THE TIME

THE LAST LIVING VOICES OF THOSE

FOUGHT AND BLED ON D-DAY

WILL NO LONGER BE WITH US.

SO WE HAVE A SPECIAL

OBLIGATION.

WE CANNOT ALLOW WHAT HAPPENED

HERE TO BE LOST IN THE SILENCE

OF THE YEARS TO COME.

WE MUST REMEMBER IT.

MUST HONOR IT.

AND LIVE IT.

WE MUST REMEMBER THE FACT

THAT THEY WERE HEROES HERE

THAT DAY DOES NOT ABSOLVE

US FROM WHAT WE HAVE TO DO

TODAY.

DEMOCRACY IS NEVER GUARANTEED.

EVERY GENERATION MUST PRESERVE

IT, DEFEND IT, AND FIGHT FOR

IT.

THAT'S THE TEST OF THE AGES,

IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT

HERE.

DIED HERE.

LITERALLY SAVE THE WORLD HERE.

LET US BE WORTHY OF THEIR

SACRIFICE.

LET US BE THE THAT WHEN HISTORY

IS WRITTEN ABOUT OUR TIME

IN TEN, 20, 30, 58 YEARS FROM

NOW, IT WILL BE SAID WHEN

THE MOMENT CAME WE MET,

THE MOMENT WE STOOD STRONG.

OUR ALLIANCES WERE MADE

STRONGER.

WE SAVED DEMOCRACY IN OUR TIME

AS WELL.

AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

MAY GOD PROTECT OUR TROOPS.
