Thursday marks the 69th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied landing of Normandy and the start of the liberation of France from Nazi control. U.S. Rep. Bill Posey honored the occasion with a statement on Thursday.

On June 6, 1944, American soldiers, joined by Allied Forces, led the charge to restore freedom and rid our world of a great tyranny, Posey said. We owe a debt of gratitude to these heroes who made great sacrifices to ensure that their children and grandchildren could inherit a nation and a world that is free and prosperous. Good stewardship of our liberty is the only fitting tribute and the greatest monument one could build.

One of the greatest privileges that I have as a member of Congress is when my wife Katie and I are invited to join local World War II veterans as they embark on their honor flights to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington that was so late in coming, Posey added.
