World War II veteran Sgt. Dan Santagata reflected on the bravery of Allied soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge, highlighting the importance of collective action against authoritarianism. Eight decades after the Allied victory, he visited Normandy to commemorate D-Day, considering the sacrifices made for liberty and a better future. The article underscores the critical lesson learned from the war: isolationism is not a path to security. It advocates for continued American leadership in maintaining a global order that promotes freedom and prosperity for all nations.
World War II was ultimately won by the courage of young soldiers, sailors and Marines who gave their all far from home because they knew isolation was no way to defeat authoritarianism's spread.
As we mark the 80th anniversary of Germany's surrender, we must remember the world still needs American leadership - and this nation must continue to answer that call.
