" I remember when I stormed this beach. Fought from trench to trench, slugged it out with Charlie. They didn't call me ole Blood n Vinegar for nothing."

I wish we could have kept Biden away from the beaches. It's an insult to the soldiers

[cag]

Will he speak about how he went in with the first wave...

[pedroperalta]

I’ll bet he’ll say he remembers storming the beach on D Day.😂

[kennyfoster]

Isn’t it ashamed that the people that who fought for our freedom are more fit to be POTUS then the man who has the job in our nation

[moreepicstuff]

This will be the last big d day celebration with living veterans, which makes this anniversary even more important

[kds]

Because he hit the beach at normandy and flew a spitfire in the battle of britain and blew hitler in the bunker. FJB

[tylershreeve]

Biden was there. He will be like" I remember my gun jamming. I know how you feel."

Bribem grew across the street from Normandy Pennsylvania just an hour away from Scranton.

Look! The clown has arrived to entertain the crowd.

[ryanvogel]

Embarrassing to have him be in charge and disrespectful for him to be there after what hes doing to our country. Hes not very liked by WW2 veterans. Let's go brandon

*saw this too* - 💡 'Thank goodness for the various forms of technology to compare *Obama's, Trumps, and Biden's* videos, audios, tweets, speeches, interviews, press conferences, agendas, policies, floor votes, actions and in-actions on issues ....

C’mon man… I remember when I stormed the beach with Cornpop. Since I grew up in a French/German neighborhood I led the raid. The Band of Brothers called me Daddy.

He'll probably start rambling on about how difficult it was that day. General Patton jumped into the Alamo and helped defeat the Spanish on Guadalcanal. Happened right before my uncle was the dinner guest of the Mormons on Hiroshima.

[davidhamel]

Today, Very few would be willing to make this sacrifice with our present state of the country and clueless leader.

[O.G.Dittzx]

They’ll have to tell him not to bring a towel, umbrella and chair to the beach.

I sure wish one of the old men at the D-Day memorial service today had grabbed the mic to say: "Mr. President, I have an important question for you. Why are you working so hard to destroy the country that so many fought and died here to save?" It would have been one for the ages.

[hellohello-cuug]

*saw this* : "It’s amazing how the entire country can see the same images and the same fact patterns playout, and some view it so *very differently than others* ." -- .... " By showing *Germany in 1932 versus America in 2024*, if done well, it might actually wake up the very people in this country who are totally ignorant, myopic, brainwashed to what is happening *to our country, right before their very eyes* ." Vote blue.

I would like to thank my father and all those who served, and President Biden for showing respect for our military.
