- Two of the most decorated surviving veterans of D-Day join Tom Brokaw for the third episode of our series, 'Conversations with Our Greatest Generation.'
Major General John Raaen, a U.S. Army Ranger who landed at Omaha Beach is joined by Ray Lambert, an Army medic who arrived with the first wave of American troops. Both men were awarded the Silver Star for their actions. These two heroes epitomize the meaning behind 'The Greatest Generation,' in our conversation led by the man who coined the phrase.
'Conversations with Our Greatest Generation' is presented by the United States of America World War II 75th Commemoration, and will be released weekly throughout the fall of 2020. Stay tuned for new episodes, as we share the stories of our greatest living heroes of the Second World War.

I found Ray Lambert’s story very moving. He’s a brave and selfless American hero
You gentlemen brought tears of honor, amazement and utter respect for you.
Thanks to all veterans, without you this country wouldn't be the greatest in the world.
this needs 100 times the views it has, it’s important for everyone to understand what these men went through so we can avoid ever doing it again
WW2 Vets are the closest people we'll ever have to superheroes
This is an amazing broadcast. Thank you for putting this together, from a USAF vet.
I agree the kids to day lay at the house playing video games when back in the day we played out side walked every day to SCHOOL N going to the store
The characteristics these gentlemen possess are indeed rare qualities and are needed more today than ever before. I loved the comments by the general on what he thought of Americans who carry a nazi flag.
Thank you for your fine testimony and recounted events. All the sacrifices you’ve made and the sacrifices of the lives by men and their families.
We owe so much to all these fine veterans for our freedoms we have.
Especially liked the topic of your speaking of leadership.
And I can certainly understand that you have always remembered the trauma you experienced. Thank you for continuing your productive lives, supporting yourselves and family.
I am a retired Funeral Director, and have served 100’s of veterans families and funerals. Always my total respect to the veterans and families, the various VA support groups, VFW and American Legion, Patriotic Riders and others.
My heartfelt thanks.
Thank you for your service sirs🇺🇸
These are priceless. Great interview.
God bless you Tom Brokaw
I like Veterans Day it’s a day that we remember of those who sacrificed their lives and recognize the veterans and thank them for their service. God bless the veterans and god bless America. Thank you veterans for your service and sacrifice.

Great idea putting the senior experiences with the new young leaders

On this Veterans Day I salute my Uncle Nicholas “Nick” Janosco, home of record Minneapolis, Minnesota, killed in action aboard the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser USS San Francisco (CA-38) during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, 12-13 November 1942, in World War II.
Bless him!
@@stateofmissouri5651 Thank you.
Just got outta work.. watching these brave men... True Heroes, God Bless 🙏🏻
I knew Joe Foss, read his book, and went to his funeral in 2003. Tom Brokaw is in the book and spoke (remotely) at the funeral. Mr Brokaw is in many ways a product of his relationship with Joe Foss and gave a remarkable eulogy for Joe. The reputation of the media has been sadly diminished to new lows daily but Tom Brokaw honestly knows and admires the "greatest generation". Mr Brokaw will always be admired for his work bring stories of heroism - sacrifices made for love of country, delivering a future of freedom to Americans, and all the world.
💙🙏🌹🇺🇸🌹🙏💙 GOD Bless 🙏 All of our Precious Veterans ❣️🤗❣️ Past, Present and Future 🌹 Thank you all for your Great Service for Freedom, our Great Country 🇺🇸 and All of us 💙🙏💙
🇺🇸 Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸 and Thank you both for your service, sacrifice and courage for freedom. You have my fullest respect 🇺🇸
Thank you gentlemen for your service. Thank you to all those who have served. RLTW!
I am terribly despondent that this unselfish generation or great Americans is drastically dwindling before our eyes. Soon they will all be gone and lets pray that our future generations to come will have an interest in this unique generation as we do. All they will see is videos and won't have the opportunity look them in the eye.
These stories are awesome
I severed in the 1st Div 2nd Battalion 16th INF
No offense but, there’s no way that if you switched the roles of all the men who fought In WWI and WWII with women, they could never have carried it out. And that goes for all wars, women are not built the same physically or mentally to handle these situations.
