‘We remember our heroes’: Christians reflect on the 75th anniversary of D-Day
James Dobson
Dr. James Dobson, influential conservative Christian author and former head of Focus on the Family, spoke about the heroes of D-Day on Wednesday.
“I was a little boy when it happened, and I grew up hearing about this moment in time. If I had been 10 years older, I could have been on one of those landings,” he said.
Dobson recounted visiting the modern cemetery for those who died in the battle, calling it “an unforgettable moment for us.”
“We walked among the graves and read the inscriptions on some of the markers. Every man buried there had a story to tell, known only to God. Some of the names were of 17-year-old boys, and we wondered how their parents heard the news of their terrible loss,” said Dobson.
“D-Day was a turning point in the outcome of the Second World War. Young soldiers, aviators, and seamen were willing to risk their lives to preserve liberty. They fought tenaciously to save their loved ones and future generations from tyranny. We are all in their debt.”
