Epoch Times:

President Donald Trump praised veterans who were in Europe on D-Day, telling them: “You are among the very greatest Americans who will ever live.”

Trump was at the Normandy American Cemetery in France on June 6 for a ceremony commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings; the largest joint naval, air and land assault ever undertaken, which helped free Europe from Nazi rule.

The ceremony kicked off with a video presentation featuring several D-Day veterans recounting their experiences on June 6, 1944.

The crowd gave a standing ovation afterward as videographers panned the stage to show the dozens of veterans who made the trek to be here today. Many arrived in wheelchairs, with decorated medals and caps denoting their veteran status.

As President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Brigitte Macron, the first lady of France, made their way down a red carpet to the event, they greeted a number of veterans. One of the American veterans told Trump he has a lot of supporters in Pennsylvania.

“There’s a lot of people back in Pennsylvania who want to vote for you,” the man said.

Others shouted, “We love you” and “God Bless you, President Trump.”  more here

  1. Men, Women and children wrought in the iron of the Great Depression. Raised by those that survived the Civil war or came to America to become American. They understood freedom, selfless hard work and sacrifice….Yep, there will never be a generation like them again…..
