You can be sure none of these American heroes would have ever been described as “woke” 79 years ago
JUNE 6, 2023 BY BARENAKEDISLAM

Forty-five U.S. WWII veterans — most now in their late 90s — traveled to France to mark the 79th anniversary of D-Day, the largest ever military amphibious operation and air assault in history.
In the early hours of June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 Allied troops set off from the south coast of England to Normandy, beginning the military operation that ultimately led to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation.

At the Normandy American Cemetery perched above the sea at Colleville-sur-Mer, dotted with white cross headstones and U.S. flags, 9,386 soldiers are buried. U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin attended the ceremony there on Tuesday along with the 45 veterans who were helped to travel by the Best Defense Foundation, founded by former American footballer Donnie Edwards.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
