Biden Lands in France for D-Day Commemorations as Ukraine’s Shadow Looms Large
Breitbart ^ | 06/05/2024 | SIMON KENT

U.S. President Joe Biden touched down on French soil early Wednesday morning ahead of Europe’s D-Day commemorations as Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia continues to roil the continent.

Flying aboard Air Force One, Biden landed at Paris Orly airport to be welcomed by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Along with French President Emmanuel Macron, British King Charles III and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, AFP reports Biden will on Thursday salute the heroism of the Allied troops who gave their lives often far from home in the landings on June 6, 1944 to free Europe from Nazi occupation.

It will be a first foreign visit for King Charles since his cancer diagnosis.

Over time, these events fade away. I took my kids to DC years ago to see the monuments. The Vietnam Wall and the WW 2 Memorial. Wandering around I found the WW 1 memorial. That was important to me because my grandfather fought in France in 1918. It was covered up with mold and vines. It was broken in several places. It looked like it had not had any maintenance in a long time.

How time flies. I recall when the last of the Great War veterans died. I read that the last Brit vet of WWI was a patient at St Barnabas (Bedlam) Hospital.

It pains me that this little hemorrhoid will soil the sacred ground where better men gave their lives for freedom.

Got the hospital wrong I think, I believe it was called St. Bartholomew. It is now The Imperial War Museum.

Yep. Biden went in the first wave, with the Bedford Boys in the 29th Division.

The krauts didn't get him because he was the first one out when the ramp dropped, and ran in faster than everyone else.

His handlers should be fired for this. The man is an embarrassment.

I’ll bet that most of those 200 D-Day survivors who will be in attendance are in better shape than Brandon.

He knows where he is—he just can’t think on the spot. But, his actions are getting to a point he must soon retire—maybe before the convention. Maybe after the debate? Dems better have some back ups ready to step in.

They did say Ashley began to cry during the trial. That laptop covers a multitude of sins and crimes.
