The White House on Monday defended President Biden after he failed to acknowledge the 77th anniversary of D-Day on Sunday, saying he values the role of the men and women who serve, and that his memory of them is “close to his heart.”
“His value for the role of the men who served on D-Day, and his memory of them is something the president has spoken to many times in the past,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday.
“It’s close to his heart,” she said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there is more we have to say on it.”
The White House’s defense comes after a Homeland Security source told Fox News that service members and veterans were upset after Biden failed to acknowledge the 77th anniversary of D-Day on Sunday.
