D-Day: Honoring the Greatest Generation's Sacrifice
D-Day | June 6 | 1944
On this 80th anniversary of D-Day, we remain humbled and grateful for the sacrifice of so many, to give the world freedom.
The term "the greatest generation" encapsulates the valor and fortitude displayed by those who lived through and fought in World War II. Their legacy is marked not only by their military achievements but also by their resilience and sense of duty.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's prayer, shared with the nation on D-Day, underscored a profound truth: that America's greatness as a military power must be matched by its moral integrity.
Courage and Sacrifice
The soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, embodied this spirit of moral clarity and bravery. They faced overwhelming odds and perilous conditions, yet their resolve to confront tyranny and restore freedom was unwavering. Their sacrifices on that fateful day and throughout the war ensured that the world would know the price of liberty and the value of standing against oppression.
