| Trump’s Europe Visit in Pictures: Honoring D-Day Sacrifice | |
| (1 day later) | |
| On a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, President Trump and President Emmanuel Macron of France honored the troops who died there in the D-Day operations 75 years ago, and recognized the aging veterans of the campaign who sat behind them onstage. | |
| “To the men that sit behind me and to the boys that rest in the field before me, your example will never grow old,” Mr. Trump said. “Your legend will never die” | |
| The ceremony was held at the Normandy American Cemetery in France, the final resting place of more than 9,380 American service members who died in the World War II operation. Dozens of veterans, all of them in their 90s or older, took part in the ceremony. | |
| “They came here and saved freedom and then they went home and showed us what freedom was all about,”’ Mr. Trump told the crowd. | |
| Mr. Macron also thanked the veterans in attendance and decorated several of the men with the Legion of Honor, the highest award in France, before making a pointed reference to alliance between the two nations. | |
| “We know what we owe America,” Mr. Macron said, turning to Mr. Trump, who was sitting behind him. “America, dear President Donald Trump, is never as great as when it fights for the freedom of others.” | |
