Sandra Lee recalls fallen soldiers on Omaha beach: “My heart aches today”

Sandra Lee remembers those who lost their lives on T-Day.

Lifestyle Guru took to Instagram on Monday while spending time at Omaha Beach in Normandy.

“Hello everyone, I hope you are well and enjoy the summer safely,” the 55-year-old wrote. “For a number of reasons I haven’t posted in a while, I’m not ready to address, discuss or share any of them, but I can say that today was a sad day …”

“I’m spending this day at Omaha Beach in Normandy,” Lee continued. “What a day, what a place, my heart aches today! I want to thank all the soldiers who gave their lives and all the families who gave their loved ones – past and present, thank you to everyone alive and dead, thank you for your sacrifices.”

Lee concluded his article with a quote from Roosevelt.

“Never in history has a man who lived an easy life made a memorable name,” he shared.

The 77th anniversary of T-Day was celebrated in June this year. Many events commemorated the decisive attack that led to the liberation of France and Western Europe from Nazi control, and paid tribute to those who had fallen.

On D-Day, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed in 7,000 boats on beaches codenamed Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold.

Several sources previously told the New York Post that Lee was engaged to her boyfriend Ben Youssef and celebrated in Paris.
