Eighty years after D-Day, President Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron and other world leaders gathered in Normandy to honor the thousands of Allied soldiers who gave their lives to help bring freedom to Europe. In his speech on Thursday, Mr. Biden also drew comparisons between the actions of Hitler's Nazi forces and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Tony Dokoupil reports from Normandy.

I'm impressed by the soldier who is 101 years old and returned to where it all took place.... 80 years ago

Remembering my late uncle ED HARRIS who stormed the beaches on D-Day. A young black man of 18 years old (U S ARMY). God bless you Uncle Ed and all who lost their lives. Love you in heaven!

What happened to Biden? 😮
Remember D-Day 😢

Did he really poop his pants and have to leave early?

The tributes to these heros gets me even more than the tributes to 9/11 for a couple reasons:
1 - the events of D-Day changed the world
2 - it makes me ashamed because we've let our legal system become the world's largest crime syndicate—and what these brave men did has been for naught here in Amerika.

Blinken:one country can’t simply violate the territory of another by force and dominate its future. Really? Afghanistan? Iraq?

[susansellars]

Thank God for men like these! Heros, everyone of them!

Classic CBS. Editing out the parts where he sits when he should stand, and gets ushered out by VP Wifey.

[Robert-tyqi]

And he remembers clearly, parachuting into Tokyo

Freedom is worth it for certain nations, Biden is losing a lot

[DanielS-zqrr]

101 years old and he's probably 5 times as lucid as Joe Biden

At the Allied landings in Normandy, SS Charlemagne and SS Galicia veterans told how they fought the Nazis from the SS.

[merycardenas]

Such a sad site that most of those heroes look and probably sound a lot better than that man there standing not knowing where to sit where to stand that’s supposed to be the leader of this country sad day. Shame
