the 80th anniversary of d-day landings at omaha beach. on this day in 1944 more than 160,000 troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of french shoreline. they took the fight to germany s nazi forces. to this day it remains the largest seaborne invasion in history widely regarded as the moment allied forces began turning the tide in world war ii. many heads of state and world leaders are now attending this ceremony. that s what is playing out on the left side of your screen. today, including president biden, you will see others who you recognize and, of course, the president of the republic of france is there along with his wife, the macrons, we ll take you there when the ceremony begins. there is a lot to get to today and with this in the forefront, so much history, so much forged in the name of freedom and our fighters at the forefront, too. we honor them, we thank them, we keep them in our minds this hour and we will cover this the moment it begins. there is a reenactment of
