Two years ago, on the 78th anniversary of #DDay, the full scale invasion was only 3.5 months old. I'd just returned from 🇺🇦 to Berlin & had this to say. Today, 2yrs later, my countries 🇺🇸&🇩🇪 still do too little, too late to stop the 21st C. Hitler. #Ukraine still pays the price.

“You’re the savior of the people, you bring tears to my eyes.” “No no, you saved Europe.” “My hero.” “No, you are our hero.” “I pray for you.” Heartbreaking between @ZelenskyyUa & a #DDay veteran, who knows the cost. He kisses his hand & won’t let go.

80 years. The freedom and safety of three generations of Europeans stand on their shoulders. We owe them eternal gratitude, not just in memory but in action. They did not give the ultimate sacrifice to defeat fascism for us to let it rise again. #DDay
