President Joe Biden marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day by honoring the bravery of the American World War II veterans who stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, alongside U.S. allies, as he tied Allied efforts against Nazi Germany to their front against Russia's war in Ukraine.
"We know the dark forces that these heroes fought against 80 years ago. They never fade," Biden said during remarks Thursday at the Normandy American Cemetery. "Aggression and greed, the desire to dominate and control, to change borders by force -- these are perennial. The struggle between a dictatorship and freedom is unending."
