Macron helps veteran to his feet, Trump gets a salute: Key moments from Trump's D-Day address in Normandy

President Donald Trump delivered sobering remarks in Normandy, France, Thursday to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings there that set into motion the final phase of World War II.

At the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, Trump told the stories of American soldiers and other key figures who helped make the invasion a success on June 6, 1944.

Here are some of the key moments from Trump's speech:

'You are among the very greatest Americans who will ever live'

Trump thanked the 170 assembled World War II veterans in attendance at the event, including 60 who shared the stage with him and other global leaders. This year's commemoration is expected to be one of the last to include veterans in attendance, as an 18-year-old on D-Day would be 93 today.

"You are among the very greatest Americans who will ever live," Trump said. "You're the pride of our nation. You are the glory of our republic. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Trump acknowledges the allied nations

Despite his recent clashes with American allies, Trump referenced the contributions of the other Allied nations that took part in the invasion.

"There were the fighting Poles, the tough Norwegians, the intrepid Aussies. There were the gallant French commanders... ready to write a new chapter in the long history of French valor," he said.
