COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France — President Joe Biden marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day on Thursday by saying “we will not walk away” from defending Ukraine and allowing Russia to threaten more of Europe.
“Surrendering to bullies, bowing to dictators, is simply unthinkable,” he said during a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery. “If we did that, it would mean we would be forgetting what happened here on these sacred beaches.”
D-Day was the largest amphibious assault in history, and Biden called it a “powerful illustration of how alliances, real alliances, make us stronger.”
He said it was “a lesson I hope we Americans never forget.”
