\/>\n7:39<br \/>\nand native born different races<br \/>\n7:42<br \/>\ndifferent faiths but all<br \/>\n7:45<br \/>\nAmericans all sered with honor when<br \/>\n7:48<br \/>\nAmerica and the world needed them<br \/>\n7:51<br \/>\nmost Millions back home did their part<br \/>\n7:54<br \/>\nas well from coast to coast Americans<br \/>\n7:57<br \/>\nfound countless ways to pitch in<br \/>\n8:00<br \/>\nthey understood our democracy is only as<br \/>\n8:02<br \/>\nstrong as all of us make it<br \/>\n8:06<br \/>\ntogether the men who fought here became<br \/>\n8:09<br \/>\nHeroes not because they were the<br \/>\n8:11<br \/>\nstrongest or toughest or were fiercest<br \/>\n8:14<br \/>\nalthough they were but because they were<br \/>\n8:16<br \/>\ngiven an audacious Mission<br \/>\n8:20<br \/>\nknowing every one of them knew the<br \/>\n8:23<br \/>\nprobability of dying was real but they<br \/>\n8:26<br \/>\ndid it<br \/>\n8:27<br \/>\nanyway they knew<br \/>\n8:30<br \/>\nBeyond any<br \/>\n8:31<br \/>\ndoubt there are things that are worth<br \/>\n8:33<br \/>\nfighting and dying<br \/>\n8:36<br \/>\nfor freedom is worth it democracy is<br \/>\n8:41<br \/>\nworth it America is worth it the world<br \/>\n8:45<br \/>\nis worth it then now and<br \/>\n8:50<br \/>\nalways the war in Europe didn&#8217;t end for<br \/>\n8:52<br \/>\nanother 11<br \/>\n8:54<br \/>\nmonths but here the tide turned in our<br \/>\n8:58<br \/>\nfavor here<br \/>\n9:00<br \/>\nwe proved the forces of Liberty are<br \/>\n9:02<br \/>\nstronger than the forces of<br \/>\n9:04<br \/>\nConquest here we proved that the ideals<br \/>\n9:08<br \/>\nof our democracy are stronger than any<br \/>\n9:10<br \/>\narmy or combination of armies in the<br \/>\n9:12<br \/>\nentire<br \/>\n9:13<br \/>\nworld we prove something else here as<br \/>\n9:16<br \/>\nwell the unbreakable Unity of the<br \/>\n9:21<br \/>\nAllies here with us our men who served<br \/>\n9:25<br \/>\nalongside the Americans that<br \/>\n9:27<br \/>\nday we different flags in their arms but<br \/>\n9:31<br \/>\nfighting with the same courage for the<br \/>\n9:34<br \/>\nsame<br \/>\n9:36<br \/>\npurpose what the Allies did together 80<br \/>\n9:38<br \/>\nyears ago far surpassed anything we<br \/>\n9:42<br \/>\ncould have done on our<br \/>\n9:44<br \/>\nown it was a powerful illustration of<br \/>\n9:48<br \/>\nhow alliances real alliances make us<br \/>\n9:51<br \/>\nstronger a lesson that I<br \/>\n9:54<br \/>\npray we Americans never<br \/>\n9:57<br \/>\nforget together we want the war we<br \/>\n10:01<br \/>\nrebuilt Europe including our former<br \/>\n10:03<br \/>\nenemies was an investment in what became<br \/>\n10:06<br \/>\nshared and a prosperous<br \/>\n10:09<br \/>\nfuture we established<br \/>\n10:12<br \/>\nNATO the greatest military Alliance in<br \/>\n10:14<br \/>\nthe history of the<br \/>\n10:16<br \/>\nworld and over<br \/>\n10:18<br \/>\ntime you got it it<br \/>\n10:22<br \/>\nis and over time we brought more Nations<br \/>\n10:27<br \/>\ninto NATO the NATO Alli Alliance<br \/>\n10:30<br \/>\nincluding the newest members Finland and<br \/>\n10:39<br \/>\nSweden<br \/>\n10:41<br \/>\ntoday NATO stands at 32 count strong<br \/>\n10:45<br \/>\nstrong and NATO is more united than ever<br \/>\n10:49<br \/>\nand even more prepared to keep the peace<br \/>\n10:51<br \/>\ndeter aggression defend Freedom all<br \/>\n10:55<br \/>\naround the<br \/>\n10:56<br \/>\nworld America has invested in our<br \/>\n10:58<br \/>\nalliances<br \/>\n10:59<br \/>\nand fors new ones not simply out of<br \/>\n11:03<br \/>\naltruism but out of our own<br \/>\n11:05<br \/>\nself-interest as<br \/>\n11:06<br \/>\nwell America&#8217;s unique ability to bring<br \/>\n11:10<br \/>\ncountries together is an un undeniable<br \/>\n11:13<br \/>\nsource of our strength and our<br \/>\n11:15<br \/>\npower<br \/>\n11:17<br \/>\nisolationism was not the answer 80 years<br \/>\n11:19<br \/>\nago and is not the answer<br \/>\n11:28<br \/>\ntoday we know the dark Forces that these<br \/>\n11:31<br \/>\nHeroes fought against 80 years ago they<br \/>\n11:34<br \/>\nnever<br \/>\n11:35<br \/>\nfade aggression and greed the desire to<br \/>\n11:39<br \/>\ndominate and control to change borders<br \/>\n11:42<br \/>\nby force these are<br \/>\n11:45<br \/>\nperennial the struggle between a<br \/>\n11:47<br \/>\ndictatorship and freedom is<br \/>\n11:50<br \/>\nunending here in Europe we see one Stark<br \/>\n11:54<br \/>\nexample Ukraine has been invaded by a<br \/>\n11:58<br \/>\ntyrant that on<br \/>\n12:00<br \/>\ndomination ukrainians are fighting with<br \/>\n12:02<br \/>\nextraordinary courage suffering great<br \/>\n12:05<br \/>\nlosses but never backing<br \/>\n12:15<br \/>\ndown they&#8217;ve inflicted on the Russian<br \/>\n12:18<br \/>\naggression they&#8217;ve suffered tremendous<br \/>\n12:19<br \/>\nlosses in Russia the numbers are<br \/>\n12:22<br \/>\nstaggering<br \/>\n12:24<br \/>\n350,000 Russian troops dead or wounded<br \/>\n12:28<br \/>\nnearly 1 million people have left Russia<br \/>\n12:31<br \/>\nbecause they can no longer see a future<br \/>\n12:33<br \/>\nin Russia the United States and NATO and<br \/>\n12:36<br \/>\na coalition of more than 50 countries<br \/>\n12:40<br \/>\nstanding strong with<br \/>\n12:42<br \/>\nUkraine we will not walk<br \/>\n12:49<br \/>\naway because if we do Ukraine will be<br \/>\n12:53<br \/>\nsubjugated and will not end<br \/>\n12:56<br \/>\nthere Ukraine&#8217;s neighbors will be<br \/>\n12:58<br \/>\nthreatened<br \/>\n13:00<br \/>\nall of Europe will be threatened and<br \/>\n13:02<br \/>\nmake no mistake the autocrats of the<br \/>\n13:04<br \/>\nworld are watching closely to see what<br \/>\n13:07<br \/>\nhappens in<br \/>\n13:08<br \/>\nUkraine to see if we let this illegal<br \/>\n13:11<br \/>\naggression go<br \/>\n13:12<br \/>\nunchecked we cannot let that happen to<br \/>\n13:17<br \/>\nsurrender to bullies to bow down to<br \/>\n13:19<br \/>\ndictators is simply<br \/>\n13:28<br \/>\nunthinkable were we to do that it means<br \/>\n13:31<br \/>\nwe&#8217;d be forgetting what happened here in<br \/>\n13:32<br \/>\nthese hollowed beaches make no mistake<br \/>\n13:36<br \/>\nwe will not bow down we will not<br \/>\n13:40<br \/>\nforget let me end with this history<br \/>\n13:43<br \/>\ntells us freedom is not<br \/>\n13:45<br \/>\nfree if you want to know the price of<br \/>\n13:48<br \/>\nFreedom come here to Normandy come to<br \/>\n13:50<br \/>\nNormandy and look go to the other<br \/>\n13:53<br \/>\ncemeteries in Europe where our fallen<br \/>\n13:55<br \/>\nheroes rest go back home to Arlington<br \/>\n13:59<br

is in<br \/>\n14:21<br \/>\nour hour of trial will we do<br \/>\n14:24<br \/>\nours we&#8217;re living in a time when<br \/>\n14:26<br \/>\ndemocracy is more at risk across the<br \/>\n14:28<br \/>\nworld than any point since the end of<br \/>\n14:32<br \/>\nWorld War II since these beaches were<br \/>\n14:33<br \/>\nstormed in<br \/>\n14:36<br \/>\n1944 now we have to ask ourselves will<br \/>\n14:39<br \/>\nwe stand against tyranny against evil<br \/>\n14:42<br \/>\nagainst crushing brutality of the Iron<br \/>\n14:45<br \/>\nFist will we stand for Freedom we deand<br \/>\n14:49<br
