Biden throws last-minute nod to D-Day as disgust for second-year snub grows

June 7, 2022 | | Print Article

An increasingly unpopular President Joe Biden gave a last-minute nod to the 78th anniversary of D-Day on Monday, after whiffing on it last year spurring national outrage and disgust.

He issued a statement to honor the historic day at 8:45 pm ET which is actually early morning on June 7 in Normandy, France.

Last year, the Biden administration failed to acknowledge the anniversary in any way, shape, or form, and this year’s recognition of the day was perceived as merely perfunctory during an election year.

“Today, we mark 78 years since D-Day and honor those who answered duty’s call on the beaches of Normandy,” Biden belatedly tweeted. “We must never forget the service and sacrifice in defense of freedom, and we must strive every day to live up to the ideals they fought to defend.”

In an apparent PR move, Biden sent Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, who is the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, to Normandy, where he compared the Normandy invasion to Ukraine’s war with Russia, according to Fox News. So, he was apparently well aware of what day it was and the significance it held.

“The fight in Ukraine is about honoring these veterans of World War II,” Mark Milley intoned while visiting the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer which overlooks Omaha Beach in Normandy. “It’s about maintaining the so-called global rules-based international order that was established by the dead who are buried here at this cemetery.”

He proclaimed the world is “again seeing death and destruction on the European continent,” in a lame effort to connect past and present.

As the day dragged on with no mention from Biden once again, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich slammed the president for his dereliction of duty. On “Special Report” with host Bret Baier, she noted the deafening silence from the White House and the administration’s screwed-up priorities.

“Nothing from the president or from the White House, and it’s actually the second year in a row for that. And it is not like this White House doesn’t issue statements frequently. On May 31, they gave a proclamation on National Ocean Month, also a proclamation on National Home Ownership Month, and a proclamation on Great Outdoors Month,” Heinrich noted.

“This is something that all the previous past presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump all acknowledged in some form during their first year in office, but two years in a row, no statement from president Biden,” she charged.

On June 6, 1944, Allied troops carried by 7,000 boats landed on beaches that were code-named Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword, and Gold. On that bloody day, approximately 4,414 Allied soldiers – more than half of them Americans – died in the water and on the beaches. More than 5,000 were wounded in the invasion.

Former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump all acknowledged the anniversary of D-Day during their terms in office. President Ronald Reagan delivered one of his most famous and moving addresses on the anniversary of D-Day in 1984.

Militarily, Biden’s actions have been disastrous during his presidency. His catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of 13 US soldiers and was ostensibly timed to mark the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. Those attacks which took almost 3,000 American lives were largely strategized and planned in that country. Al Qaeda is now resurgent in Afghanistan, along with numerous other terrorist groups.

Vice President Kamala Harris recognized D-Day on Monday at 2:50 EST, tweeting, “On the 78th anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom. We remember their sacrifice today and every day.”

It is telling that the vice president tweeted out the remembrance of D-Day honoring American soldiers who died in battle earlier in the day but the president of the United States waited until the very last minute to tentatively follow suit.

  1. People should give Biden just a bit of compassion after all I am sure that there are many bad memories of those fateful days leading up to the D-Day Invasion. It must have been hard for him and his good baddie Corn-Pop when their LST hit the beach in Delaware and they had to get on board the train and head once again for Washington, DC. With all of the rationing it must have been hard to find a single cone of Chocolate-Chocolate-Chip let alone a double scoop. Once in DC he had to get onboard his Tractor-Trailer Rig and drive cross country. People today have it easy compared to what Joe Biden went through just to get appointed to Annapolis especially when you graduate at the bottom of your law school class. So let us take a moment and give thanks for Joe Biden’s service to this country, even if he never held any other job other than a politician, it was tough for him growing up in Scranton and having to help his father fight off the hostel Indian tribes as they moved west to Idaho to make way for the great American Expansion. Looking back on history there has never been a president that with just the stroke of his pen destroyed the economy of a country and was able to do it in less than two years. Thank you Grand-Pa Joe.

  2. Joe was too busy working on his giveaway to China to commemorate the sacrifice made by the greatest generation.

  3. Laughing Girl probably thinks D-Day was an example of White supremacy and her so-called “boss” really doesn’t care and it shows. For my money, the bravest of the brave were the Airborne troops whether jumping or in gliders at night before the seaborne invasion.

  4. How is the war in Ukraine honoring WWII vets? Maybe you could make the leap because both were started by madmen but that’s were any similarities end. Our troops aren’t fighting. UK isn’t in there. Miley is as stupid as Biden I bet everyone who has had to serve under him hated it.

  6. Joey and the Left better be glad we won WWII, otherwise Joey’s crime family would probably be dirt poor and the Nazi’s would have every member of the LGBTQ+2XYZ community in a slave labor camp and they sure wouldn’t be getting reparations.

  7. Milley should be fired and get a dishonorable discharge for his remark. Its not a so-called global rule. Hes as anti-military as Clinton is.Hes a disgrace of the highest magnitude for disrespecting the sacrifice that the “Greatest Generation” made to secure the lives of those men and women in France and Europe in general. They (including Biden) must be upset because it reflects on their buddies in the 3rd Reich nation of the past and the 4th Reich nation that exist today. Dont know about the rest of you but I prefer the dollar over the Euro. We need to rid America of this trash.

  8. That is one huge joke to believe Harris “We remember their sacrifice today and every day.” Sure she does.

  9. In perspective, it is only good that slime grifter Quid Pro Quo Joe not breath, say words that are scared to represent good men and women who represent our American values.
    Scum like the Biden crime clan, should not be even close to these honorable people and events.

  10. I doubt very seriously that Joe Biden even knows how to tweet a message. One of his handlers must have seen the negativity in the very fact that he had once again ignored D-Day, so they hastily sent out a message. I am pretty sure Biden was in bed by 8:30 pm

  11. Dopey Joe and horizontal Harris were too busy continuing to destroy our country to recognize the sacrifice of American heroes on June 6 and beyond!!

  13. Joe Biden and Disgusting Harris are disgusting scumbag communists who hate the USA and it’s true citizens. Over 9000 died and have white crosses above their graves at Normandy and these azzholes can not even honor those who gave their lives so we the American people can enjoy freedom and our other wrights under the constitution of the usa, fjb AND fHARRIS

    1. Not to forget about the people in France and Europe whom we were protecting in that action. I soldiers sacrifices were for all the world against the bigots in Germany.

  14. That’s because they both fvck Joe Biden and cumhoe Harris are disgusting scumbag communists who hate the USA and it’s true citizens,,,,,,,FJB,,,,,,,
    sympl1

  15. Don’t they have someone who keeps track of these important days of remembrance? This White House is a disorganized mess. We need some.”unnamed” staffers to tell us what’s going on.
