WASHINGTON, D.C. – Combat Veteran and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)—today led 22 of her fellow Senate Democratic colleagues in urging Defense Secretary Hegseth to reverse course and not implement the Trump Administration’s un-American transgender military service ban that will unfairly attack honorable servicemembers for who they are, compromise good order and discipline and jeopardize our national security. In the Senators’ letter, the group demands answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—including what specific data is being used to back up their claim that transgender servicemembers are not in the “interests of national security” and how much it will cost taxpayers to train the replacements of perfectly capable transgender servicemembers that they are forcing out of our military.

June 6 has long stood as a day of profound historical significance, marked by events that have shaped nations, inspired generations, and altered the course of history worldwide. 1944: D-Day – The Normandy Landings Arguably the most consequential event associated with June 6 is the beginning of the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II, commonly known as D-Day. On June 6, 1944, in a meticulously planned operation codenamed Operation Overlord, over 156,000 American, British, Canadian, and other Allied troops stormed the beaches of Nazi-occupied France.
