Distinguished guests, including U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and French Minister for the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu, hold a moment of silence and prayer with French teenagers and children at the Utah Beach American Memorial, International D-Day Remembrance Ceremony, 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)
