‘You’re the Pride of Our Nation,’ President Trump Tells Veterans on 75th D-Day Anniversary in Normandy

“President Donald Trump extolled U.S. veterans gathered in Normandy on the 75th anniversary of D-Day as the ‘pride of our nation’ in a reverential address Thursday,” John Fritze and David Jackson report for USA Today.

“The president, who leaned over to embrace one of the World War II veterans who shared the stage at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, heaped praise on the troops who stormed Omaha and other beaches on the French coast, battling through heavy German fire to claim a beachhead and turn the course of World War II.”

“‘We are gathered here on Freedom's Altar,’ Trump said within view of both Omaha beach and the cemetery where 9,388 American military dead are buried.”

In The Hill, Peggy Grande—Ronald Reagan’s former executive assistant—writes that President Trump struck the right balance between showing respect and projecting strength on his first official State Visit to the United Kingdom. “President Trump and first lady Melania Trump represent all of us when they step on foreign soil . . . Seeing the genuine warmth between President Trump and Queen Elizabeth, the latest state visit was an overwhelming success.”

“Pennsylvania’s economy has just reached another remarkable milestone — and it didn’t happen by accident,” CNN commentator David Urban writes in Morning Call. “The state’s unemployment rate has dropped to 3.8 percent in April — the lowest level since 1976 — and total employment has reached an all-time high of more than 6.2 million . . . There’s no doubt that Pennsylvania’s economy is thriving like never before.”

“On Wednesday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would end the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions for medical research,” Mary Vought writes in the Washington Examiner. “For over 25 years, Congress has allowed the National Institutes of Health to dole out what now amounts to more than $100 million each year to researchers who utilize the fetal tissue of aborted babies. There is little to show for this money.”
