 Biden to speak on freedom and democracy at Pointe du Hoc 80 years after D-Day

President Biden is delivering a speech on freedom and democracy Friday at Pointe du Hoc, which during World War II was a heavily fortified German position captured by U.S. Army Rangers during the invasion of Normandy. 

In his remarks, the president will be drawing a connection between the Allied powers' fight for freedom on D-Day decades ago and supporting sovereignty in Ukraine and elsewhere now.
