Southern California veteran honored by president on 80th Anniversary of D-Day in France

A veteran from Inglewood, California who served in World War II was honored by President Biden in France on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Louis Brown, 98, took a trip to the shores of Normandy Beach where he was honored alongside other veterans who served during the war in the 1940s. Brown, originally from Mississippi, was drafted into the Army when he was a teenager in 1944.

“Being a little young fellow in there, we didn’t know [anything],” Brown said of joining the Army. “You know, we were kind of excited to be over there. I didn't know I was making a part of history or anything like that.”
