President Biden gave a speech in Normandy commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in which he urged allies to help Ukraine defeat "a tyrant bent on domination."

On a solemn day in late November 1943, a somewhat unlikely coalition of three men sat across a lunch table at a meeting site in Tehran and finalized an agreement. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin made a deal that would change the course of the war, which was going badly. The plan set in motion in Tehran was for a large-scale operation called Overlord, which would take place the following spring. It would be the Allies’ first major confrontation with the Germans in Western Europe, a high-risk venture necessary if there was to be any hope of defeating Hitler.

FDR believed that the plan to fight Hitler on European soil was so essential to the war effort that it was worth the cost of an alignment with Stalin. Churchill was less certain, but in the end all three men agreed on the mission, and also agreed on FDR’s choice of General Dwight D. Eisenhower to lead Overlord, which came to be known as D-Day.

Each year as we commemorate D-Day, we are once again in awe of the enormous stakes of the Normandy invasion, and the raw courage of the men who participated. Eisenhower never stopped realizing the full extent of what he was asking his men to do, and FDR never wavered in his belief that it was the right course.
