Fischer Attends D-Day 75th Anniversary Ceremony in Normandy

Statement

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, joined a bipartisan Senate delegation to Normandy, France, for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Earlier today, Fischer took part in the official ceremony at the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer with President Donald J. Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron.

"It is truly amazing to visit Normandy and honor our service members on the 75th anniversary of D-Day. My father served in World War II. Two of my uncles received Bronze Star Citations for their brave service in the European Theater. Our nation is forever grateful for the service, dedication, and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation," said Senator Fischer.

Today's ceremony had an attendance of over 150 veterans, as well as members of the U.S. and French military, elected officials, and other dignitaries.

Additionally, the delegation met with General Tod Wolters, commander of U.S. European Command (EUCOM) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
