"This is a wonderful group of extraordinary men of the greatest generation," Pratt told The Associated Press during the event.

"These are WWII veterans, and every year they take a pilgrimage back to Normandy," he added. "Thrilled to see them here. It was a surprise to me. I didn't know they were going to be here. And it was an opportunity to kind of just catch up with them.

"I've been following their story. And I saw them, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, we got to spend time together.'"
