D-Day also makes an ideal date to commemorate all who fought -- and continue to fight -- NAZI and fascist ideologies.

The Nazification of the Republican Party

Who would believe that in 2024, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the Republican Party would align ideologically with NAZIs?

For instance, the nation's press corps refuses to frame Trump's stolen election narrative as the "Big Lie."

New CNN Boss Chris Licht Wants Staff to Stop Calling Trumps Election Claims The Big Lie

New CNN president Chris Licht discouraged staff from using the big lie to refer to former President Donald Trumps false claims about the 2020 election, Mediaite has learned.
On a Tuesday conference call with management and show executive producers, Licht was asked for his thoughts on the big lie, and said he preferred that staff avoid the term. He made clear this was a preference, not a mandate, but staffers have taken it as a clear directive from the new boss.
He encouraged producers to instead use the terms Trump election lie or election lies in banners and graphics.
According to a source, Licht argued that using the big lie makes the mistake of adopting branding used by the Democratic Party, thereby weakening the objectivity of the network.
The term, which was first coined by Adolf Hitler and later used to describe Nazi propaganda efforts, was recently adopted by critics of Trump in response to his relentless promotion of the false claim he won the 2020 election.

If Trump spilled top secrets to "red headed weirdo" Australian, what did he spill when talking one-on-one in secret with professional spy recruiter Putin (seen facing a winking Trump in photo below)?

Trump acted like he had never heard of the US nuclear triad.
He may know other things, unfortunately.
