80 years ago today, 2,501 Americans died at Normandy to protect lives and democracy.
Some were black, knowing they would return to a racist US.
Some were gay, knowing they could be court-martialed for who they were.
They fought anyway for what was best and right.
I don't care what you think of Biden. A world with Trump in the White House will be a disaster. In 151 days, you can do what is best and right without risking your life.
What a moment.
The WWII Veteran is introduced to Canadian PM Trudeau, and Trudeau introduces President Zelensky.
The Veteran immediately takes off his hat and exclaims “You're the Saviour of the People!!”.
Zelensky says, “no no, you saved Europe”.
“My hero", the veteran says, “I'll pray for you”.
Zelensky seems humbled (as he should).
Two men, saving Europe from tyranny, death, and destruction, at opposite ends of a lifetime.
