U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, left, prepares to shake the hand of French Minister for the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu, right, during Hegseth’s return from the podium after delivering remarks during the International D-Day Remembrance Ceremony at the Utah Beach American Memorial, June 6, 2025, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Normandy, France. Hegseth's address, given in the late afternoon amid wreaths, flyovers, and tributes to surviving WWII veterans, was a concise yet poignant tribute to the "Greatest Generation." It emphasized themes of sacrifice, the transatlantic alliance, and the enduring lessons of D-Day for modern security challenges. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Devin Klecan)
