On the recordJune 6, 2007
today, June 6, marks the anniversary of D-day, the invasion of Normandy. It marks one of the most selfless acts of humanitarian love known in the history of mankind. It exemplifies a Nation's willingness to lay down our lives and to expend our treasure to free a people from brutal oppressors. Today, Mr. Speaker, America remains the greatest Nation on earth, and we have our American soldiers to thank for securing our safety, for securing our freedom. To those who marched to a near certain death that morning on a French sandy shoreline, we pay you tribute. We can never repay the price that you paid for our freedom, but we will never forget that cost that you paid. There is no greater love than this but that we lay down our lives for our friends.
