"You're my hero!": WWII veteran shares emotional moment with Ukraine's Zelenskyy at D-Day ceremony

[blue-wave]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared an emotional moment with a veteran during a D-Day ceremony in Normandy, France on Thursday. The veteran, who also met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, kissed Zelenskyy's hand and told him he was the "saviour of the people." Zelenskyy, who embraced the veteran and held his hand, kneeled to be at the same level as they exchanged a few words.

1. These are real heroes. Let's get rid the the trash this election once and for all. VOTE!

[Traurigkeit]

13. Lots of trash to get rid of

Maybe 200,000+ Republican politicians local, state, federal holding BACK and Destroying the United States
for 330,000,000+ people.



That just AIN'T RIGHT!

4. Zelenskyy will go down in history as a hero. I will never forget when he said,

"I don't need a ride. I need ammunition!"

The gathering of heroes!

Then I sobbed out loud when I saw this.

9. An old hero paying tribute to a young hero ---

as the world should be!

16. Yes, exactly how

the world should be. Respect for heroes across all generations. This brings to mind the Ukrainian response to "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine) which is "Heroyam Slava" (Glory to the Heroes). Nevertheless, a very touching moment in the video.

10. Grown men don't cry?

Well, this 83 year old man has been blubbering all morning. I had those same feelings as I watched the D-Day Darlings when those old-timers, soldiers from WWII, came on stage on one of the Britain's Got Talent shows. You'd think that I had cut up a tub of onions.

11. I second that emotion!

Love the heroes!

[Deep State Witch]

12. Wow!

Okay, who's cutting onions? I'm crying like a baby at this!

[SunSeeker]

14. OMG That choked me up!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. Damn! That old cotton-top got my eyes leaking! Ukraine is fighting for all of us.

[flying rabbit]

17. Wow!

That got me.

18. Just like Nicolle Wallace, everytime I watch it, I well up. I wish I could kiss Zelensky's hand as well.
