President Barack Obama says the course of history was changed by the bravery of allied⁸ forces on D-Day in northern France 65 years ago today.

The landings paved the way for the allied victory over Nazi⁹ Germany. President Obama said the bravery of the men who fought on the Normandy beaches was an inspiration to everyone today.

‘We cannot help but draw strength from those moments in history when the best among us were somehow able to swallow their fears and secure a beachhead on an unforgiving shore, to those men who achieved that victory 65 years ago. We thank you for your service. May God bless you, and May God bless the memory of all those who rest here.
