A significant number of people visit the American Cemetery in Colleville-Sur-Mer, which is located close to Omaha Beach, to pay their respects.
When speaking to a gathering of World War II veterans on the 78th anniversary of D-Day, U.S. Army General Mark Milley said that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is about “honoring” them since people from all over the world have banded together “against a determined invader.”
He remarked in front of more than 20 veterans and a crowd that numbered the several thousand at the American Cemetery of Colleville-Sur-Mer, which is located in France and overlooks Omaha Beach. The purpose of the gathering was to pay respects to the fallen American forces that had been killed in France.
