UK, France, and US Join for D-Day Anniversary

June 6, 2009

World leaders unite to honor the sacrifices of soldiers who lost their lives June 6th, 1944.

World leaders and royalty joined veterans to mark the 65th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy today.

Gordon Brown, the Prince of Wales, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy attended the remembrance service at a cemetery for US servicemen in Colleville-sur-Mer.

Paying his respects to the thousands of allied troops who died during the invasion, Brown said: “There is an unbroken line from the Normandy landings to the fall of Berlin to the end of the Second World War and then to creation of a post-war society.

“So the men we are celebrating today and commemorating those dead are the people who not only liberated Europe but made possible the freedoms we all enjoy today.”
