A bipartisan group of American lawmakers recently honored the 80th anniversary of D-Day by recreating the daring parachute jump that U.S. troops made into Normandy during World War II. Led by Florida Republican Congressman Michael Waltz, a former Green Beret, and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow from Colorado, a former Army Ranger, the group of lawmakers, most of whom are veterans, participated in the symbolic jump.
Congressman Waltz expressed his gratitude that all members of Congress returned safely from the jump, with no injuries reported. He emphasized the significance of honoring the sacrifices made by veterans who fought to liberate Europe from the tyranny of Nazi Germany.
