“the intention of the entire world this past weekend was focused on the northern coast of Normandy as we witnessed historic ceremonies and eloquent speeches, all in commemoration of the day 50 years ago which is still imprinted firmly on the collective mind of the world and of America. The depths of feeling that these ceremonies tapped in the hearts of the citizens of our Nation is a priceless tribute to the heroism and magnitude of the events of that day which the world remembers as D-Day, the turning point of the most important battle that turned the world toward freedom and toward ultimate allied victory. Mr. Speaker, one way to remember and to honor our World War II veterans and the freedom which they preserved is to support the construction of the World War II memorial now planned here in our Nation's capital. This memorial will be built with funds that are being collected from the sale of these three commemorative 50th anniversary World War II coins being sold through June 30 of this month through our U.S. Mint here in Washington.”
