Congresswoman Chellie Pingree issued the following statement on the 69th anniversary of the D-Day invasion during World War II

"The D-Day invasion 69 years ago today stands out as an incredible testament to the courage, sacrifice, and sheer will of American veterans. Whether from the sea, the air, or the beach, those men set out that day knowing that June 6, 1944, might be their last—and for many it was. Today, we remember their incredible role in turning the tide of WWII, and making history in the process."
