Governor Phil Bryant | D-Day, June 6, 1944 | A Time to Reflect and Remember | The 77th Anniversary of D-Day | Liberating Europe — Advancing Freedom

June 5th, 2021

Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a timely conversation with Governor Phil Bryant, the State of Mississippi (2012-2020), executive advisory board member of the International Leaders Summit and founding partner at Bryant Songy Snell Global Partners. The dicussion focuses on the 77th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, and reflecting on that historic day when 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline with a goal to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany and hasten the end of World War II.

According to published reports, 73,000 soldiers were from the United States and an estimated 6,603 Americans were killed, wounded, or missing in action on D-Day.

Governor Bryant shares about his visit to The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, a World War II cemetery and memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, and relays the significance of ensuring that our fellow-Americans understand the significance of the sacrifices made on June 6, 1944, to advance the just cause in defeating tyranny, liberating Europe and preserving our freedoms.
