Governor Sanders Visits Normandy
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, Fr. – Over the weekend, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, with First Gentleman Bryan Sanders and their kids, visited the Normandy American Cemetery to lay a wreath at The Wall of the Missing in memory of Private Roger Dean Andrews and pay their respects to other fallen Arkansans. Private Rodger Dean Andrews, a member of the U.S. Army's 37th Engineer Combat Battalion, was killed in action during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. His remains were identified through DNA testing and were returned to his hometown of Gravette, Arkansas, where he was laid to rest with full military honors on June 9, 2025. While there, the Sanders family also visited the gravesites of Arkansas natives Lt. Col. Percy O. Forgy and Private Harold E. Sellers. Following her trip to Normandy, Sanders is continuing on to the Paris Air Show to meet with major aerospace and defense companies, and then concludes her trip in Switzerland to discuss investing in Arkansas with several large corporations.
