“Today is June the sixth. You don’t say Happy D-Day because so many Americans lost their life, but what you do is you celebrate the fact that folks who were just average Americans were such incredible heroes – storming beaches, climbing cliffs, fighting for freedom, not just in the United States, but around the world. This is a picture of folks in New Orleans celebrating the end of World War II. We can celebrate D-Day for the day that brought this day around.”
