WASHINGTON – This past week, House Armed Services Committee Vice Chairman Rob Wittman (VA-01) returned from a bipartisan congressional delegation to Normandy, France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The congressman took part in observance of the anniversary along with veterans and their families, active duty servicemembers, government and military officials, and foreign dignitaries.

“Eighty years ago, thousands of Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history,” Congressman Wittman said. “While paying our respects in Normandy, we remembered their courage and the sacrifices they made for the betterment of mankind.”
