Are all of the headstones showing lives lost on omaha beach. These are eight u. S. C130 aircraft overhead. As you look up and see the planes in the sky, imagine what it would have been like 75 years ago on this day when almost all daylight would have been blotted out by the 12,000 aircraft flying overhead to take part in the most complicated and immense Amphibious Landing of all time. You can see Emmanuel Macron and u. S. President donald trump there. As you have been noting the men seem to be getting along well today. Their body language very positive, but largely because they give themselves over to the moment. They both acted as if its not about them at all. Its about the veterans who are there. As president called them, the pride of our nation, the glory of our republic. Both leaders at every opportunity including in their speech and physically have thanked as many of them in person as they can. It looked as though the veterans appreciated that. The 65 who landed there in normandy and are back today. Those are f15s. Four u. S. F15s in the missing man formation. Some of the veterans had not been back. The youngest are 93 years old. If you were 17 or 18 in 1944, do the math. Some lied about their age so they could go serve because this war was obviously so important to freedom everywhere. They are at least 93 years old. Some have never been back before today on this 75th anniversary of dday. One thing President Trump did in his speech is he talked about the Different Countries and thanked the Different Countries that were part of the dday invasion. He mentioned canada, britain, the norwegians, the poles and the free french forces. That outreach to the United Nations was crucial for the european and the worldwide audience to hear. The president talked about working forward together. Of course he told in his speech the story of some of the heroism. He singled out a couple of veterans. He talked about ray lambert who had been serving with his brother. They both begged each other to take care of their families. They really didnt think they would make it back alive. They both did, but they were terribly wounded. It wasnt until they woke up wounded, realized they were lying next to each other and they both made it through. Russell picket, part of the famed company a, was bounded not just in the dday invasion but once again when he insisted on going back to fight in france. The president thanked him personally. He rose to hear the applause, had trouble standing up and Emmanuel Macron walked over to help him get up. That put a lump in my throat to watch the french president help that veteran rise. The french president knew he owed him personally a debt of gratitude. We want to bring back our team thats been covering the poignant ceremonies. We have jim acosta, David Gregory in washington for us, our cnn political analyst and dana bash, chief political correspondent. Jim, since you are there, tell us your thoughts as you watched the flyover. This was a remarkable moment. You have to pinch yourself being here on the scene of an extraordinary reminder of the freedom that we all take for granted and how it was won here on this soil 75 years ago. When you heard President Trump talk about this just a short time ago it really struck me as one of the more onmoment messages of his presidency. We have one more flyover. This was a really onmessage moment of the presidency. He put aside partisan politics, grievances with other foreign leaders around the world. He put aside his differences with Emmanuel Macron. There was no talk about domestic politics or how he views things on the world stage. This was purely a tribute to the veterans, soldiers and the fallen from dday 75 years ago. John was talking about the moment where private picket. That was just a moment that captured everybodys hearts here in normandy. Just Walking Around here on this sacred ground, it is palpable. You feel an energy coming from this place that reminds you of just these enormous sacrifices that were made so many years ago. When you saw President Trump paying tribute to private picket and Emmanuel Macron going to his aid during the ceremony, it felt as though private picket was americas private at that moment. It was just a remarkable scene here to see both of these leaders who sometimes disagree with each other and sometimes you see their frosty relations on display. Put aside that. The politics was just washed aside, put to the side during what was an extraordinary moment as they both recognized the bravery and heroism of these men. It reminded me in a way of a state of the union speech in terms of what the message was that the president delivered here at normandy. He was picking moments and stories to kind of weave together a larger story about the bravery on display here. Instead of trying to use the stories to advance a particular policy, this was about advancing a message about bravery, courage and freedom. I think it was just an extraordinary moment. Having said that, the president has now wrapped this up or is about to wrap up the trip to normandy. Hell be meeting with the french president later this afternoon. Theyll have a bilateral meeting. We may find out they had disagreements they discussed away from the cemetery here. At least for this moment this morning, this was, i think, a moment that really rose to the occasion. It was an occasion that could have been spoiled by politics and differences between the two li leaders. That didnt happen. It was really, i think, a surprising and encouraging moment for everybody here. Jim brings up a great point. The president brought up the stories of the veterans. To lay out the events of the day, to carry us through the first hours, the first days of the dday invasion, it was a greater story about freedom. Youre looking at the rouge, blanc and bleu in the sky. Well done. The president used the veterans to tell a story about freedom and perseverance, not a story about him. That was striking. Not at all. I will say and, john, you and i were texting. It didnt occur to me thats why it was so different until you said that to me. Its true. This was a speech 100 about what it was supposed to be about. The remarkable courage and bravery and foresight of the alliance 75 years ago. Of the moment in the u. S. Military and of course of the allies that everybody knew was so fraught and was not entirely clear whether or not it would be successful at all. The fact that the president stuck solely to that and did weave a narrative and tell a story and bring everybody who is now 75 years later, not entirely sure what happened there, back to that time. Everybody now understands that. This is also, i will say, capping several days of meetings, both in Great Britain and then of course in france where you have had in a not so subtle way, the leaders there reminding the president about how important alliances are. Everything from the queen giving him gifts about Winston Churchill to other moments. And this capped that. There is no question about it. I also want to bring one other thing just to bring it up to modern times. As we speak, as this was haing, whats happening in st. Petersburg, russia, is the modern challenges when it comes to alliances. The russian president is hosting the chinese president. It is a reminder of how obviously things were different. The russians were on americas side 75 years ago. It is a reminder of how important the leaders in europe feel that the modern alliances nato, the e. U. Are to make sure there is security up and against todays adversaries like russia, like china. David gregory, we are watching the first lady with her bouquet of flowers we assume shell lay at one of the tombstones. We see crosses and stars of david. It is obviously really a touching visual here to see these leaders in the middle of this grave here at omaha beach. There shes laying the flowers. David, you know, i think whats so interesting, of course, as we listened to the president s emotional speech today and that of president macron is what happens next. You know, we know they are traveling any minute about an hour away to the bilateral meeting. Its relatively short. Today the president will be headed to ireland. But if he does carry this feeling back home to the u. S. With him and if this does end up affecting somehow policy, Foreign Policy and his world view. Well, he does get back to business. The disagreements with modern france and the modern United States will continue. But when the president spoke about an unbreakable bond we are reminded of the lessons of history. We are reminded of a french president who was not the french president at the time. He was a leader in exile, Charles De Gaulle who had a frosty relationship with america. Even after the invasion would go on to become president and take france out of nato. Didnt want to be part of nato. When dana and i were last there on omaha beach in normandy it was 15 years ago with president bush. Just as president reagan had fallen ill and died. We were in the middle of the iraq war and the relationship between the president and the president of france was so strained because of iraq. The bond is there and overcomes the moment. In this beautiful sunlight as the leaders talk with their spouses, you are reminded that the sacrifice that they are honoring here was by men who believed in something bigger than themselves. Churchill said of the war effort before dday that the goal was to persevere. The brits survived the blitz, the onslaughter of the German Military in the blitzkrieg, the bombing of london. Four years earlier france was taken by the nazis. This was a moment of american daring to say we are going into what was called the european citadel and attack, iron against iron. This is where the americans and their allies would directly attack the germans. The images of the beautiful sunlight of a normandy early afternoon belie what it was like that morning. It was terribleth wi etweather, overcast with high seas that imperilled the invasion. The graves that mark this beach, those soldiers didnt stand a chance. Yet the daring of the west was on display. I dont know how you are a leader that doesnt come away in the face of the loss and sacrifice and doesnt feel the bond thats somehow bigger than the leaders of the moment. Youre exactly right, david. Put yourself back 75 years ago at this moment. The invasion itself would have been eight or nine hours. Thousands of people would have been killed already. The beach already stained red. The president told that story. He narrated that day through the eyes of the vet rans he listed and thanked by name. Alisyn asked an important question. You asked if hell carry that tone forward in the meetings today. We have seen this president s ability to compartmentalize. He was talking about bette midler 36 hours ago. Six hours ago leaving ireland to france he was critical of democrats on immigration. I will say this. Hes also a man who is often struck by the last person he speaks to. They have a big influence on him. Moments like this have a big influence on him. He does get, i think, emotional about heroes and the bravery displayed. Just hard to know, jim, how long this feeling will last. I think thats right. Keep in find just before the dday ceremony began the president sat down for an interview with fox. Its possible he got a lot of the red meat out of his system before he took the lectern and gave these remarks. Youre right, alisyn and john. The president put politics aside. He did seem to riesz se to the moment. He was listening to those better angels, talking about the sacrifices that were made as part of an alliance that put the world first, not a particular Country First 75 years ago. My sense is not to be pessimistic as the children are gathering behind me, just getting back to the point that this message that was on display is being passed on to new generations. You see evidence of that behind me. Obviously the political differences will return to the scene. As you were mentioning as the president was leaving ireland he was talking about these new tariffs he wants to place on mexico in retaliation for whats happening on the border. He was exclusively blaming democrats for the failure to pass comprehensive Immigration Reform when he knows full well hes obviously part of the equation. He stood against providing a path to legalization or citizenship for the dreamers. Hes ignoring the fact that republicans on capitol hill for the last 48 hours have been sweating bullets that this president will impose these tariffs without talking to them about it first. You know, he ignored that political reality as he was leaving ireland an hour or so before he gave the remarks at normandy. If past is prologue its likely well go back to things before this moment. Maybe thats what made this moment special. We are so exhausted by the politics of the day. At least we could have a couple of hours in the morning where we could remember real heroes, true bravery, true courage that saved the world. Thats whats owed to the men there on that stage behind him and the men buried in that cemetery. Dana . This was the most traditional we have ever seen President Trump. Hands down. Just in terms of understanding and capturing the moment, not veering from the moment. No improv in the speech. His delivery was solemn which is appropriate for the moment. I agree with jim. When david and i were there 15 years ago for the 60th, we had seen particularly post 9 11 president bush in many president ial moments. We saw president obama more recently in many president ial moments. But for donald trump, so often in the rose garden, in big president ial moments, we see him as donald trump which is how he got there in the first place, mind you. But this was different. This is why i think everybody is so struck by it. He moved people. He did so by understanding exactly what he was supposed to do and not messing with it. David gregory, we are watching the leaders depart. Theyll head to a town not far away. It was a key point in the progression of allied forces after dday. There President Trump will meet with Emmanuel Macron to conduct the business of government here. It gets much more complicated starting now, david. It does. The divisions about the future of europe. As we watch the ceremony, one of the things we have to take in and the flyover is beautiful is how much work was done to create a unified europe after world war ii. The work the United States did, not just to help rebuild europe to unify europe but also to rebuild germany and japan americas enemies and to bring them into the modern world and a post war where everyone could share in the might and the economic progression that the world experienced after the war. A lot of divisions have crept up in europe that test that post world war ii order that is being celebrated here. I think whats useful about these moments is that for any modern leader, they realize they really stand on the shoulders of their predecessors who built something that, as the president said, is unbreakable. They are reminded of what common destiny we shared with our allies in western europe and how important that is at a time when we are moving away from the idea of the post world war ii order. There is nationalism throughout europe again. Some ancient hatreds are rising up again. They have to be battled, contested. These are what history teaches us. Of all the things we do in national life, this kind of memory becomes so important because it teaches a new generation of leaders about the importance of bridging their differences and what the ideal is and how strong the bond is that they can deal with issues over immigration, trade, current war as we saw during the iraq war. The bonds are stronger than those divisions. Beautifully said. Memory is a powerful force if we choose to use it. Well watch everything that happens during the bilateral meeting.
