Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. 
Commemorating the occasion, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth speaking at the Normandy American Cemetery in France, honoring the troops who helped liberate Western Europe and urging today's generation not to forget the lessons learned by those who fought and died on D-Day. 
>> 82 years ago today, the survival of Western civilization hung in the balance. 
Dark forces had swept across Europe. 
Hitler boasted that his Atlantic Wall was impenetrable. 
But our enemy made a fatal miscalculation. 
They underestimated the unbreakable will of the American fighting man. 
The task was daunting. A frontal assault across the churning English Channel. 
Directly into beaches and cliffs fortified with iron, concrete, and heavy artillery. 
An impossible mission? 
A suicidal mission? 
The mission of free men. 
Freedom's only hope. 
No turning back. 
Alongside the brave forces of Great Britain, Canada, France, Norway, Poland, and our other other capable and steadfast allies, the United States military spearheaded a great crusade to shatter the Nazi war machine and liberate a continent. 
Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. 
Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, and Bulgaria. 
Boats and men arrive. 
When will European capitals do something about that invasion? 
Or is it too late? 
I pray not, and I believe not. 
The men who fought and died here restored freedom to Europe. 
That freedom must be maintained by this generation of leaders and warfighters, 
or what they fought for was merely temporary. 
>> Heg says, continuing this theme and quoting former President Ronald Reagan, 
saying freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. 
Also saying the United States remains committed to its allies and expects them to be ready to stand together to defend that freedom.
