“He spoke fairly.” Acknowledging the veterans, acknowledging the dead, and acknowledging the Allies whose soldiers also died on those beaches. Of course he honored the United States in particular, but this is to be expected.
May the world never forget: “Freedom isn’t free.”
He likewise cautioned these same Allies never to forget, nor forsake, what their forefathers knew. The dangers to peace and freedom are always out there, and in ever-changing forms. We all must be forever vigilant.
He is right to caution.
With the face of Europe changing daily, there may come a time when those well tended resting places of boys and men who fought for a now forgetful, ungrateful Europe and died there go the way of so much of Western civilization and Christianity. Churches sold and turned into mosques, historic graves on those churches’ grounds walked upon by the new “owners”, and so forth…
I pray not.
But I am watchful 🙏🏻
God bless the brave men of that day.
I watched Secretary Hegseth disembark from his aircraft… along with his wife and children, all appropriately dressed. Two of his lads were wearing military fatigues.
Further, I watched a brief clip of the entire Hegseth family chatting with veterans, many in wheelchairs. All the children shook hands with them and kept eye contact with whichever vet he or she was listening to. Mature beyond their years.
I smply cannot imagine another person so suited to his position than Secretary Hegseth.
A soldier’s soldier, a truth teller, even when it what he says upsets those who have no sense whatsoever of honour, duty, sacrifice.
His children will speak of his service, on and off the field of battle, with pride.
As I do now of his loyalty to the military first, all of whom he respects…and our nation.
Thank you, Mr Secretary for your dedication and patriotism… and Mrs Hegseth for keeping the home fires burning as you rear your children in the same mold.. You both have a family to be so proud of. Well done.

The Governor of Maryland just brought legal proceedings to halt the work of Jack Nicklaus at Andrews Air Force base to renovate the two dilapidated golf courses, and add an additional special needs 9-hole course for wounded warriors.
To display the spitefulness of the Communist Democrats, you’ll notice that Mr. Nicklaus’s signature golf tournament is taking place this weekend even as we speak!
The Memorial
Retired Magistrate here: When I was young, many eons ago, people remembered D Day and the heroics of the young men who stormed the beaches, arrived in gliders, many of which crashed landed, parachuted into the wrong places and were targets of the Nazis and those that survived the beach head landing died later fighting in the hedgerows.
Now most people don’t even know what D Day is and the sacrifices made. We have lost so much of our history no wonder the average citizen doesn’t realize what a wonderful country we have let alone all the illegals who came here for the free stuff.
GOD bless the few survivors we have left of D Day and World War II and their families.
Have been checking the CBC website all day for any mention of D Day and the brave Canadian soldiers who gave their lives for freedom. Not a word. How very sad a country Canada has become.
This was a good speech. He has done a good job this year and last. All my life, here we are with 25 veterans in attendance now. I am extremely privileged to have lived in the time of these veterans.
The war was very real as I grew up in my family. My grandparents ministered to the official refugees the FDR administration aloud at Fort Niagra. My mom and aunt were exposed to the stories of escaping first hand as kids. None of the experience was hidden from me.
It is nice that our Secretary takes this day seriously.
God Bless our brave men that fought for and gave us America, home of the free, home of the brave.
D Day mut never be forgotten.
Problem is other countries (than the USA) have opened up to never ending invaders from other countries to flood their beaches and towns .
The NEW invasion coupled with idiotic climate change rules have left countries barefoot walking on coals of illegals and dumb climate rules.
