Cory Mills says lawmakers reenacting Normandy landing are paying homage to ‘the greatest generation’

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) explained how Friday’s reenactment of the D-Day Normandy parachuting is meant to honor the U.S. soldiers who fought on that historic day, all of whom were part of “the greatest generation.”

The Florida lawmaker is one of 10 representatives, all of whom are U.S. veterans, who are recreating the parachuting on the beaches of Normandy on Friday, the day after the 80-year anniversary of the historic event in World War II. Mills explained that as a veteran, the meaning of D-Day holds great value to him, and this reenactment is his way of demonstrating to others what this event means in U.S. history.
