President Trump Commemorates D-Day
Dana Mathewson
From Power Line:
This morning President Trump commemorated of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied northern France by Allied forces. Trump joined French President Emmanuel Macron in honoring the fallen at the site of the invasion just above the beaches of Normandy. I have posted the text of the president’s eloquent and moving speech below the video, which really has to be seen. This is a great speech.
Indeed it is! Somehow, the 75th Anniversary carries extra weight, and I, for one, am thankful that the president giving the speech is one who is respectful of the event, and respectful of America. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton were doing it?
I haven't watched the video, nor did I watch the President on TV, but reading the transcript, I can hear Mr. Trump's voice and his inflections. He's a much better speaker than he's usually given credit for.

I had the chance to listen to some of the President's speech on Thursday evening, on OAN, when I came home from some business and my wife was watching it -- and crying. I watched the rest of it with her.
What a speech, and what a delivery! The President has often been belittled as not having been in the military. I felt at times, during this speech, as if he wished he had been; as if he felt he had missed out on something by not having been a military man.
I can understand that, because I too have felt that. I drew a 4F (lousy eyesight and only one functioning ear) when they looked me over after I graduated from college, and while I was happy to escape being sent to 'Nam as "cannon fodder," I still have known I missed something. I'm sure Mr. Trump feels the same -- it showed in his speech.
