Eighty-one years ago, on June 6, 1944, the world witnessed one of the most courageous and defining moments in human history: the D-Day landings. Operation Overlord, the largest seaborne invasion ever undertaken, saw over 156,000 Allied troops storm the beaches of Normandy, France. Of those, 73,000 were American. That day, 2,501 brave American men gave their lives—not for conquest or riches—but for liberty, for the defeat of tyranny, and for the future of the free world.
Their sacrifice wasn’t just a military maneuver—it was a moral stand against one of the greatest evils the world has ever known. Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, responsible for the genocide of millions, was dealt a crushing blow on D-Day. It was the beginning of the end for fascism in Europe, and it was made possible by the resolve and bravery of the American soldier.
We live in the greatest country that has ever existed—not because of geography or wealth, but because of our values: liberty, faith, self-determination, and the will to resist evil wherever it arises. The men of D-Day lived out those values. And today, we must ask ourselves: Are we still living up to their example?
Our battles may look different now—social unrest, global authoritarianism, attacks on free speech and religious freedom, and the slow corrosion of moral clarity in our culture. But the fight against evil never truly ends. It only changes form.
Today, we honor our heroes. We remember their sacrifice. And we recommit ourselves to preserving the freedom they died to defend.
Is America and its citizens still up for fighting the evil that exists today?
