WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“Today is a day of somber remembrance and endless gratitude for the sacrifices made by the tens of thousands of American service members sixty-five years ago in Normandy. I am pleased that President Obama will be representing the United States in Normandy on this historic day in order to recognize the Americans who gave their lives so others could realize freedom. America truly is the home of the brave, and this important day in history reminds all of us of the sacrifices made by American service members and their families, of all generations, to keep America free.”
