President Biden says there is a lot to learn from June 6, 1944. We can't let what happened here be lost in the silence of the years to come. We must remember it, must honor it and live it and must remember the fact that they were heroes here that day does not absolve us from what we have to do today. The president spoke as fighting continues in Ukraine. Democracy is never guaranteed. Every generation must preserve it, defend it and fight for it. That's the test of the ages. Former President Donald Trump shared his own D-Day anniversary message on social media praising U.S. soldiers as immortal heroes.
