Marking the 80th Anniversary of D - Day

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day when allied forces conducted the largest amphibious landing in history to begin the end of World War II. French President Emmanuel Macron is leading a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial with world leaders in attendance. Veterans of the war have gathered to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and recall events with their fellow survivors.

World War II was a global catastrophe but as Americans we recount our collective historic struggle for freedom. Although I’ve never served in our military I was fortunate to serve as a civilian contributing to our defense effort. Many of us in the semiconductor industry provide critical technology resources ensuring our armed forces an American advantage.

Today we celebrate the common men and women whose sacrifice ensures our freedom. I’ll leave you with appropriate fanfare. Our Mormon friends express the American spirit in a way that can make your hair stand on end (after listening even my hair stood on end). Thank a vet for your freedom today.
