D-Day, 80 Years of Defending Independence

This week we mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, a turning point in history, and a triumph of democracy over tyranny.

Christiane asks Hanks about the legacy of the Greatest Generation, and why it is so important to remember the price of freedom. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
