On this day in 1944, Allied forces launched their historic D-Day invasion. Today, we honor the courage of the soldiers who stormed the beaches in Normandy marking a turning point in WWII. #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/y4RxWi89xu

While in Germany, the 101st Airborne Division uncovered the Kaufering IV concentration camp and also captured The Eagles Nest, Hitler’s mountain retreat.

Today, I’m in Normandy, France, to honor the American lives lost in the D-Day landing and the Tennesseans who fought against the Nazis.

May we never forget the ultimate sacrifice these brave soldiers made while defending freedom around the world. pic.twitter.com/NoVOP6TQZP

Throughout history, most countries that invade another nation have kept the land. The United States has only ever asked for a place to bury our fallen. Thank you to France for giving us this land to honor America’s sons and daughters. #DDay pic.twitter.com/Iyd5yNfhNW
