Script:
At the moment marks a solemn and important day in our nation’s historical past – the eightieth anniversary of D-Day.
On this present day in 1944, 1000’s of courageous males joined forces on the seashores of Normandy, in a robust show of braveness and dedication that modified the course of World Warfare II.
Our servicemembers displayed the indomitable spirit of a whole era decided to protect freedom and democracy.
Alongside these courageous souls was my father, B.N. Ivey. Six days after D-Day started, he landed at Normandy as a part of the continuing efforts to safe a foothold in Europe.
Ever so typically, my father shared tales of the camaraderie and sacrifices that outlined his days there.
He spoke of the resilience that he and his comrades shared, qualities that helped them overcome unimaginable challenges.
At the moment, as we keep in mind the valor of those that fought, we additionally honor the reminiscence of those that by no means returned.
Their legacy is our liberty, and their sacrifice is ceaselessly woven into the material of our historical past.
Thanks to all our veterans and active-duty service members. Your braveness ensured our freedom.
God bless Alabama and these United States of America!
