French President Emmanuel Macron, 2nd left, his wife Brigitte Macron, left, and US President Joe Biden, center right, and first lady Jill Biden attend a ceremony together with World War II veterans at a U.S. cemetery near Colleville-sur-Mer Normandy, on Thursday. “To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators, is simply unthinkable,” he said during a ceremony at the American cemetery in Normandy. Earlier, Biden and first lady Jill Biden met with more than two dozen American veterans near Omaha Beach, where the fiercest D-Day fighting took place. Biden told a veteran that “you saved the world.” The president led the audience in singing happy birthday to another. Standing at Greenfield's grave, Biden made the sign of the cross and touched the letters engraved on the white marble headstone.
