An American veteran and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a touching moment at a ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy during World War II. The event, held at Omaha Beach in France, brought together foreign dignitaries and veterans to honor the historic landings.
Retired Staff Sgt. Melvin Hurwitz, 99, and other veterans were introduced to the attendees, including President Zelenskyy. In a heartfelt gesture, Hurwitz kissed the Ukrainian leader's hand and embraced him, expressing admiration by calling him the 'savior of the people.' Zelenskyy, in turn, humbly responded that it was the veterans like Hurwitz who truly saved Europe, drawing applause from the crowd.
