Today, Congressman Jim Banks (R-IN) released the following statement while in Normandy, France for the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Also, earlier today, Rep. Banks spoke to MSNBC's Hallie Jackson about the significance of this day.

Said Rep. Banks, "It was a tremendous honor to be on hand as President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron commemorated the 75th Anniversary of D-Day just yards away from the beaches of Normandy. Today was a day to set aside politics and remember the incredible courage and sacrifices of the "greatest generation" and President Trump's speech did just that.

"On a personal level, I appreciate Speaker Pelosi inviting me and all other veterans in Congress to join her for this historic event. It was a moving ceremony and tribute that reminds us of America's historic role in the world and that our freedoms are never free."
