President Joe Biden will speak from Pointe du Hoc this week, marking his second trip to the Normandy coast during his visit to France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day
President Joe Biden will return to Normandy for a second day during his trip to France as he tries to rally Americans in defense of democracy from Pointe du Hoc, a legendary spot along the coast where Army Rangers scaled cliffs during the D-Day invasion. The site's prominence in American folklore was partly established by President Ronald Reagan, who delivered one of his most famous speeches there in 1984.
Speaking from the American cemetery nearby, Biden said the U.S. “will not walk away” from Ukraine. “To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators, is simply unthinkable,” he said. “If we were to do that, it means we’d be forgetting what happened here on these hallowed beaches.” Pointe du Hoc is located nearby, between Omaha and Utah beaches.
