CNN) -- The alliance forged between the United States and Europe during World War II is strong 'and is still needed today,' U.S. President George W. Bush told veterans commemorating the 1944 D-Day landings. 'America would do it again for our friends,' he said of the key role played by the United States in helping to free France from Nazi occupation. Bush opened a stirring D-Day commemoration address Sunday by paying homage to former U.S. president, Ronald Reagan, who died Saturday after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. 'He was a courageous man himself, and a gallant leader in the cause of freedom and today we honor the memory of Ronald Reagan,' Bush told thousands of veterans at the American military cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer on the northern French coast: Bush told those who had fought to liberate Europe on June 6, 1944: 'You will be honored forever and always by the country you served and the nations you freed.' Bush and French counterpart President Jacques Chirac stood side by side at the vast American war cemetery to start a day of somber reflection over the heroism and loss of life during the D-Day landings in Normandy 60 years ago.
