Veteran recalls frontline memories on D-Day anniversary

A D-Day verteran recalled landing in Normandy on D-Day, as British veterans sailed from UK shores to join the D-Day ceremonies.

Henry Rice, 98, paid tribute to his fellow comrades as he made the journey to Normandy.

"I will go to the cemetery and yes, I will have a few tears in my eyes, and I do it out of respect and admiration for those boys.

I survived and they didn't," he said.

‘They Are Chep Fakes’: White House Slams ‘Bad Faith’ Viral Clips Of President Joe Biden | Watch

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as “cheap fakes.” Her comments follow the spread of several clips on social media, which have ignited debates about the president's mental fitness. In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during a D-Day memorial event in France. Commenters suggested he seemed “completely lost” or experiencing “some kind of episode.” Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. #JoeBiden #WhiteHouse #ViralVideos #CheapFakes #Deepfakes #KarineJeanPierre #FakeNews #ManipulatedMedia #PoliticalAttacks #MentalHealth #G7Summit #DdayMemorial #Juneteenth #MediaManipulation #USPolitics ~HT.178~GR.125~PR.152~ED.102~
