82 years later, we honor the extraordinary heroes of D-Day. On that fateful morning, thousands of brave American soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy with unwavering courage in defense of freedom. They fought not for glory or recognition, but for one another, for their country, and for the generations yet to come. Every time Old Glory rises, we are reminded of their profound sacrifice and the price paid for the liberty we cherish today. Let us honor their legacy by never taking that freedom for granted.
