God bless each and everyone of those heroes.
What a remarkable piece of film. We should never, never forget! God bless all of those men. Heroes.
I'm glad our US vets are featured by an American network. Their valor will live forever, at least among the diminishing number who actually know about WW II in our broken education system. That rant is for another video.
It was an Allied effort and I never forget that. Kudos to our Canadian and British allies on the other beaches.
And French too, they were the first to disembark on Sword beach and had the honor to lead the attack (1st Commando bataillon of the Free French Naval Forces)
I grew up in Portsmouth , England and was raised with history of D-Day. There is museum there and recently a restored original landing craft has been installed close to beach where so many troops , ships and boats left for the shores of Normandy.. My Father was a Captain in the British Army and my Grandfather both fought in WW2.. We remain eternally indebted to this incredibly brave and admirable generation .Lest we forget 🌺
GONE!...BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!...THEY WILL NEVER NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! GOD BLESS US ALL!! LOVE!!

My god
What an absolutely incredible soul
We really really will never be able to thank you men enough for your service
It really does bring tears to my eyes
Truly, America's greatest generation.
Don't forget the 12 other countries that were also involved.
True, but Palestinians didn’t do you no harm, so why slaughter them?
@@nahyoxsoldier3264 this isn't the time or the place for comments like this.
Wasn’t this with nearly every country in the world involved in it and this wasn’t in America it was in Dover,France,😅
Never could get that vcr clock off flash tho.
My grandpa was part of the Army Rainbow Division that came into Europe through Italy and then liberated the Dachau concentration camp. I have so much respect for all those involved in liberating Europe from fascism. Never forget.
It’s sad and scary how Jews are being treated now🙁
Was Communism in Europe o.k.?

LOVE YOUR GRANDSON EDDY
Thank you for your grandfather‘s sacrifice, he gave his life for Americas FREEDOM, there is nothing more precious. May he rest easy. Taps are playing in my heart for him.
Salute 🫡
Heroes all to be celebrated forever...
Wow! Freedom is not free..
If we compare the current generation to this generation: completely different human species
same can be said for boomers lol
Thank God, because that’s precisely what they fought for.
AMEN BROTHER!! THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! my Dad was a Survivor he was 17 years old when he was their !! He has passed away but still treasure his moments!! And the great stories he has told me !!
One of my uncles, age 23, was one of many who stormed Omaha Beach on D-day. I still have one of his letters sent to his brother dated June 30, 1944. His last line was “I can tell you I have been in Cherbourg”. RIP dear uncle.
Upmost respect, He's a hero and sacrificed his life to liberate Europe
Nothing but respect for all those brave souls who fought valiantly and gave up their lives for something greater than themselves.
My grandfather was a combat engineer at Omaha Beach on 6 June, 1944.
Gotta respect those guys. Combat engineers had one of (if not THE) most dangerous jobs on D-Day. They landed first, and literally had to run up the beach and clear mines, wire, and obstacles to make a "safe" route for the troops to follow. Needless to say, engineers took staggering losses - but got the job done.
Salute 🫡 to him
I am a computer engineer.
@@stephencooper3583 Weren't Seabees of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) that did those clearing mine and obstacle jobs on D-day? I know Army engineers do that as well, but I just never heard about Army engineers doing that on D-day.
@@dallasyap3064 ... you're not wrong... both jobs involve clearing obstacles. Seabees operated closer to the water, clearing the way for more boats to land. Combat engineers operated further up on land to clear the way for the troops to move up the beach. Both were essential for the attack to succeed.
Anyway, yeah, there were lots of combat engineers on D-Day. Engineer units took some of the heaviest losses of any type of unit.
The World's Greatest Generation.
I'm a combat vet of the last war in Iraq, proud of having served, but these WW2 soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen are the true heroes of the last century. Specially the heroes of the Normandy landing in D Day.
I’m in my thirties but I’ve always admired this generation if I were them I’d be very proud 💕☺️
My Ex wife's grandfather was in the Battle of the Buldge and he was a great guy. Told us his story and it was heartbreaking.
@@Miohunter444mel Brooks was in the battle of the bulge.
It's incredulous t o think how they coordinated such an enormous military operation without the technology we take for granted today. Another incredible human story that was crucial to D-Day. Thank you Maureen 🌺
The Greatest Generation, the likes that we had never seen and likely never see again!
until WWIII that is...the next generation is gonna have to step up.
My deepest respect to all of these men. This brought tears to my eyes. We’re forever grateful
June 6th was Rommel's wife's birthday and the German general went to visit her. Had Rommel and the Panzer tank battalions been on the beaches at Normandy the largest amphibious land invasion in military history may not have succeeded.
May father passed in May at 103 years. Landed at Utah a few days after D day. He was in Patton's 3rd army infantry and still standing on VE day. His division was 270 days in combat.
Truly an amazing generation!
Things like this, this gentleman recounting his story, is what makes me so mad to hear people today disparaging America and our military. We have no idea what sacrifices they made so that we can have better lives. 🇺🇸
Hopefully we learn not to let Putin do what Hitler did.
Defy the big banks?
"I have no one left. No one!" 🥺
What the month of June should really be about. Remembering the greatest fallen
Salute 🫡 to every man who served that day
Salute 🫡 to the ones who didnt make it back
Salute to every single person who gave their all for US
Українці пам'ятають про D-Day. Українці вдячні.
Slava Ukraini! Heroyem slava!

Best of luck to all Ukrainians coming from an American. The world is with you and is against Putin’s act of arrogance and aggression
It’s sad to see these WW2 veterans go, I’m glad that most of them got to tell what they experienced, we are forever grateful for their sacrifice and courage
We remember this day. The 80th Anniversary of all the heroes who died and survived this day. ❤🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Not gonna lie, listening to that veteran brought a tear to my eye!--- Such bravery!
I've watched many documentaries on WW2 and every (and I mean EVERY) time they interview a vet, he breaks down and cries trying to tell his story. 80 years on it's still fresh in their minds. Incredible. How many stories have been lost to time?
Powerful stuff in this video. I feel for Jake Larson. We will never truly understand the pain these men go through when we hear them talk. I pray for all of them. I salute every single one of these veterans for the sacrifices each and everyone of them made on that faithful day.
Outstanding treatise...finally the lynchpin of D Day success is acknowledged..😎👍
Hitler insisted that the invasion would come at Calais. Rommel told Hitler that the invasion would come at Normandy. Hitler asked Rommel why he believed that. Rommel replied: because that is were I would invade "
It could only be this generation to save the world. They were already hard tested after going through the Depression, so it could only be them. We will never see a generation like it again.

The story of Jake Larson is absolutely mind blowing. He has an amazing book titled: "The Luckiest Man in the World", and has been on the Jocko Podcast. Incredible human being.
MY GRANDPA WAS ABOARD THE ILL DE FRANCE SHIP WHEN HE WENT TO D-DAY
SAME SHIP THAT HELP ASSIST THE RESCUE OF PASSENGERS IN THE SINKING OF THE ANDREA DORIA IN 1956
LOVE YOU POP
♥️😪
I salute these soldiers who gave their life so people like me can live simple lives today. Oh, and it’s also my birthday.
The real heroes are the ones who didn't come back. RIP to them all and thank you for our freedom.
My great-grandfather was there 80 years ago today.
Jake Larson, Bob Gibson, and all the soldiers who were there that day, thank you for your service, your dedication, and your sacrifice.
Maureen Sweeney, thank you for making sure they were able to get there.
So much done by so many people to make sure we could live the lives we have today. Rest in Peace to all of those who couldn’t make it to see it today.
No War. ..WW3.

80 Years of D-Day
*NO MORE BROTHER WARS.*
Interesting thought, Canadians assaulting Juno Beach had been at war since September 10th 1939. America's greatest generation is also Canada's greatest generation. Technically, with the exception of the Battle of The Atlantic, North America was far from the action but we answered the call.
The world owes such a debt to the Allied soldiers of D-Day and the Second World War. Young men who answered the call to service, many who never saw family or farm again, so the rest of us could live free. We have a civic responsibility to remember their courage---and to be responsible stewards of the freedom their sacrifice made possible.
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt 6/6/44
Please let us remember these men. The men of my father’s generation who soon will have left us. My dad rarely ever spoke of his experiences. He was US Army anti aircraft artillery and served on Guadalcanal 1943 - 44. An uncle was a bomber pilot. Let us remember with gratitude what this generation sacrificed to give us and let us strive to preserve and cherish the gift of freedom they fought and died for.
My undying gratitude to these boys
if this was today...these men would have to endure 8 hours of DEI training before boarding the landing craft

Thank you hero’s total respect 🙏

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They don’t make men like that anywhere.
Truly the greatest generation.
Remeber D-Day

Has anybody ever heard an M82 machine gun firing? It’s a ridiculous fire rate, can’t even imagine having those all over hills firing at me. The bravery of these men to run forward through the horrors they experienced changed history.
If I was alive during this time period Ida ended that war sooner.
True history, true heroes of the war, not today's propaganda and lies of the war
It's all history ... different threats now affect britain!
The fallen and the veterans deserve better auto-captioning. When "I didn't get a scratch" gets transliterated as "I don't use crack", you are dishonoring these men.
The Greatest Generation. To Bad There All, Almost Gone.!!
Prayers to soldiers who gave up their lives for democracy; be vigilant, preserve democracy ; remember who you vote a dictator wannabe or one for democracy
Relax, Hillary Clinton
No one is trying to be a dictator El stoop ed
USSR was an ally and they had no democracy!
Gods bless the brave Soldiers on both sides!!!
The respect those who went in first even more. ❤😢
WOW
Please let us remember these men. The men of my father’s generation who soon will have left us. My dad rarely ever spoke of his experiences.

May Aloha Snackbar bathe the greatest generation in His warm glow.
That's when Uncle bogus got eaten by the cannibals
Well done.
Wow!
😭😭😭😭 so grateful!!!
Google honors D-Day with a Doodle.....not.
Now you've got kids using their freedom these menngranted them to do Only Fans and Tik Toks
You sir are the hero. Tears lots of tears.. thank you Veterans. ❤

Trump called the men who died during this mission "suckers" and "losers".
No he did not. It never happened and us bets don't want support from the likes of you
@jamesdouthat3999 Yes, he did.
Russian warships have arrived in Cuba Here we go
Украинские нацисты нанесли ракетный удар из РСЗО "HIMARS" по магазину в селе Садовое в Голопристанском округе Херсонской области. После того, как на месте удара собралась толпа людей, которые помогали раненым, фашисты нанесли повторный ракетный удар в результате чего на данный момент 22 мирных жителя погибли, а ранения получили 15 человек, пять из которых сейчас находятся в тяжёлом состоянии.
Hi
sub
🇩🇪⚔️🇺🇸
I pray that their sacrifice upon the altar of freedom, will not have been in vain... This next election will tell us whether those young men died in a lost cause for democracy. I fear that a Trump presidency coupled with a new allegiance with Vladimir Putin & Russia will bring America down to its knees.
I can't believe anyone is so uninformed they still believe the Russia collusion lie. Read the books by Lee Smith and Greg Jarrett. The only ones colluding with Russia are Hillary in 2016 laundering her collusion through Christopher Steele and the dossier, Perkins Coie law firm , Danshenko, Million , Musfid . The FBI knew the dossier was a work of fiction but lied . Hillary and her phony foundation made millions from Kremlin connected oligarchs
. The mayor of Moscow, the richest woman in Russia, gave the Bidens millions. The sources for the dossier were paid to lie and admitted it. Adam Schiff would often go to the SKIF and say there was no connection between Trump and Russia and then lie and tell the press he has compelling evidence that Trump colluded with Russia .
Thanks for sharing your Derangement Syndrome with the rest of us.
Shut up El stoop ed he wouldnt do anything except put us first
How did they fight for democracy if the USSR was an ally?
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA ! I was born April 6, 1945. I thank these men for giving me a chance at life. They gave the ultimate sacrifice. I will always be grateful. May God protect us from ALL EVIL that tries to destroy this great country and Democracy. From Putin to Trump, may they be silenced where they stand and NEVER bring us to this horrible end again. May God keep them in chains for the rest of their miserable lives. God bless America ! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The greatest generation of war criminals
cry about it
@@N3_X0 humanity should be crying, not me
Are you related to Hitler?
@captlazer5509 nope. Just pointing out facts
@@Rev.jmoney66.6 gotcha, you're into authoritarian facists.
So many of these brave young men gave their lives for total strangers… So that they could be Free. ❤️🩹🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦. 🤷🏾 Yet today, we have our very own governments, stripping our freedoms from us, as we saw in the circus trial of Donald Trump.
This is a great video to watch with your children or grandchildren, it is only 13 minutes long and so it is short enough for the kids to keep their attention. 😑 I seriously doubt they’re teaching this in our so called schools.
Trump? The ahole who said those that die for their country are losers and suckers? You obviously goose step in line with him.
