CNN'S Jim Acosta (@jimacostacnn) captured this photo of the Normandy American Cemetery Memorial on the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The cemetery, which sits on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach and the English Channel, contains the graves of 9,387 U.S. servicemen, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings.

Obama, speaking earlier at the American Cemetery, said he was honored to be there "to pay tribute to the men and women of a generation who defied every danger: among them, our veterans of D-Day." Lengthy applause rang out as the U.S. President said he was humbled by the presence of some of those veterans at the ceremony. "Here, we don't just commemorate victory, as proud of that victory as we are; we don't just honor sacrifice, as grateful as the world is; we come to remember why America and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril," Obama said.

Their story should remain "seared into the memory of a future world," he said, describing Normandy as "democracy's beachhead."
He said, "It was here, on these shores, that the tide was turned in that common struggle for freedom." "What more powerful manifestation of America's commitment to human freedom than the sight of wave after wave of young men boarding those boats to liberate people they'd never met?"
