80th anniversary of D-day

And most of those 100 yo vets look to be in better health than Biden.

Lets not turn this into a political thread please.
Your president is in Normandy today to honor our war heroes, he represents their sacrifice and the entire nation.
It's an honor to have the US president on our soil ... no matter who it is and what you might think of him.

Lots of US flags everywhere in a lot of towns and villages in Normandy today.

We have a few June 6th bars ...

The one of the house on the left is not properly displayed. The Union should be on the left side.

How D-Day unfolded, hour by hour

On June 6, 1944, Allied troops crossed the English Channel by boat, aircraft and glider to attack and secure beaches in Normandy as part of Operation Overlord.

It is so wonderful that Normandy truly honors those that have sacrificed their lives.

Lots of foreign (to me) troops in the region around that time.
I bet Normandy is the only place where US soldiers feel safer than at home, while being unarmed and in uniform in public.

Everybody want their pictures taken with us.
