- Actor Tom Hanks sat down with CNN's Christiane Amanpour as celebrations for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, marking the beginning of the end of World War II, are underway. #CNN #News
Jeezus, CNN. That's NOT the headline this interview warrants. Good grief.
Its more effing Clinton News Network Fake News!
They gotta get views somehow
@@theadventuresofsaltyjrover the managed to get you look.
Tom Hanks fighting for his Hollywood life with this response. Completely deflects the question. Good man for not entertaining stupid question with politics on such a day. The Dem party and biden are obviously the bigger threat to democracy with all their wild corruption
Sure it does. Democracy is at stake
My pop just died two months ago at 103 years old. He served in WW2 and was so proud of it, he spoke of it often. I miss that old man so much.
❤❤❤❤
I'm so grateful he lived 103 years. Alot of people don't make it to 21. I send you my sincere condolences and well wishes. 💖💖💓💓✨️✨️
@@ezzmayy awwww thnx , you would've loved him, everybody did
Vote blue my friend Biden cares about our people sorry for your loss
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a Vietnam vet and I am not a hero. But I did answer my country's call; I did my job well as an electronics repairman; and I'm proud of it. You don't need to be a hero; you just need to be a patriot and love America and what it stands for.
Thank you for your service and you are a hero 🌹🇺🇸
Sir, you're a hero and don't let bigotry weaken that sentiment.
Ur not a hero thank you
U r definitely a here my friend! I lost many friends in Vietnam! Very sad that our country was so ignorant! 🇺🇲
Hero
It's been over 20 years now that i haven't watched 10 minutes of CNN. This time I did it out of the curiosity and some sort of trust I had on the integrity of Tom Hanks, waiting for that response. He answered in the most diplomatic way. Not disappointed.
exactly my thoughts
Not only that it's the truth, we've survived some truly horrible administrations that predate any of us alive today. We survived the ones that are under strict criticism from the polarization among our politics today. The right? Hated Obama, but the country is still here. The left? Hates Trump, the country is still here. The right? Hates Biden, the country is still here. Nixon, Truman, Carter, the Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, JFK, LBJ? We have 45 presidents, 248 years, a damn civil war. We are still here. Tom speaks the truth with that response through and through. Diplomatic or not.
Totally agree, but, he’s covering his ass good because he’s on the Epstein list and DJT is going to release all names.
Diplomatic = propaganda and rhetoric lol we literally stole millions from Holocaust victims
Agree.
To those who were there eighty years ago, THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU. 👍
Yes. Totally true!
And Zeus too.
BE CAREFUL, SAYING "GOD" 🌄 MAY OFFEND LIBERAL DEMOCRATS 🙄 YET BELIEVING IN A BIG, FAT, ALIEN 👽 NAMED "LORD XENU" IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE TO THESE "SCIENTOLOGY" DEMOCRAT ACTORS/ACTRESSES 🤣 🤣 🤣
To those of you 80 years ago. You’d be 100% ashamed of what your country has become under Joe Biden and the democrats.
God bless you too!
My uncle, 18 years young, died on D-Day at Normandy. He was small & weighed down by his pack
Like many others, he was killed in the water, never even reaching the beach. People fail to understand the brutality of D-Day & the truly selfless sacrifice that many young men made on that day. Every year, my mother pulled out his final letter to her. She would read it with tears running down her face.
Deep respect to and your family 😢from England uk
I can feel the pain of a mother...
Hmm, that is heavy on the heart. Same for me, deep respect for your family.
Although I give thanks for your family’s sacrifices, I don’t appreciate being told that people fail to understand the brutality of D-Day, and the sacrifices made. How dare you! Yours was and is not the only family affected and that made sacrifices. 🇺🇸
And the politicians who sent them there sacrificed nothing
My dad was in WWII & we lost him to dementia right before his 98th birthday last year. This inspiring video brought me even more appreciation for the men we lost then & the last of the WWII veterans we're losing today. Thank you Tom Hanks for your insight appreciation & utmost respect for all our veterans including my dad.
❤
MY dad rode with Paul Revere.
My grandpa passed away in 2004, as a Chinese Nationalist soldier, he fought bravely in the Pacific theatre.
My father was in the Philippines in 1942 he enlisted with he was 28 in the army.
Too few Americans know that (Nationalist) China was involved in WWII, let alone the horrific military and civilian casualties suffered by that nation in its 14-year war against Imperial Japan. I say this both as a History Major and as the grandson of a U.S. Navy veteran who spent the war years patrolling the Caribbean on a sub-chaser. Regrettably, he was already fading fast when I was born in the late '90s, dying on Christmas Eve 2001 from complications of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. He was only 79 at death, but a decade's worth of poor health had mostly deprived him of body and mind. By all accounts a most humble man, on the (very rare) occasions when he mentioned the war, I've been told my grandfather always made a point of saying how the real heroes were not him or his younger brother, a Marine wounded at the bloodbath of Saipan, but the myriad guys who never made it home to their parents, children, or wives. This modesty was widely shared by my grandfather's peers, a now mostly dead cohort from whom latter generations could benefit by taking a lesson or two.
A major flaw of WWII curriculum, at least as it is taught in American secondary school, is that it concentrates largely on the origins and playthrough of the Allied campaign against the Axis Powers in Europe and gives short shrift to the near-ten years of Japanese imperialist aggression in the Pacific Basin that cost the lives of millions and motivated the Attack on Pearl Harbor. I was fortunate in this regard to have had teachers who strived to ensure their students understood the "full picture" of history and took great pains to avoid any of us coming away with a U.S. or Euro-centric perspective of the Second World War. I hope you know that your grandpa was as much a hero as the brave boys and men who stormed the beaches of Normandy! More effort should be given in this country to commemorate the military dead of the other non-aggressor nations.
Best,
Ryan
Taught me something today. These men suffered so much and I think we forget. I really do. Cause if we remembered all the bad stuff we would learn from our mistakes and stop doing them. Some say that makes us human by why do humans have to not try and learn from their mistake. My kind has. ♥️ is ❤❤
I applaud Tom Hanks for not taking the CNN bait on such an important date. He left the spotlight on the heroes of D-Day they were there to honor. Well done sir, thank you.
He’s a weak coward afraid to speak truth
That was my thought exactly! It seemed to me that she was heading there in every question she asked and if we could tell, so could he. I'm sure he is in total agreement with her politics but he showed real class in sticking to the important subject at hand. She lost whatever class or journalistic integrity she may have once had long ago
@@YxYzYxlol, ok well the world is just *dying* to hear the carefully nuanced and esteemed opinions of the enlightened one called YxYzYx..
RIP Kappy
He is a disgrace to the movie industry.never watch movies again.
My dad was there . He was a medic, 20 years old. He was the most patriotic man I have ever known and he raised us the same way. They truly are the greatest generation. Thank you to all who served and those currently serving.
My grandpa fought on the eastern front.
Part of the German-Romanian forces that took the fight to Stalingrad.
It did not end well if you know what I mean, Russians took him prisoner, shaved his head, beat him to a pulp and forced him into hard labor at a prison camp.
He made it out alive after the war ended and died in his own bed in 2010.
Rest in peace grandpa I miss you.
Not every German chose to fight for the reich. They were conscripted.
Thank you Mr. Hanks for speaking so eloquently for our beloved veterans.
Another paid PR spokesperson right here
Edit: take note of users with name_name_number usernames. These are assigned….the others are just unfortunately gullible and have been to think that anyone who says words which disagree with the “important people” words they memorized as rules is scary and a bad person. Pity these poor simpletons…
Also, looking at the comments below of whom was triggered…it’s appreciated when the thin skinned zealots reveal the motives and biases within the virtue signals, gas lights and other immature local fallacies with which they have no choice but resort.
It’s hard times keep up when no one is telling them what to think…
Then again, at least the Biden campaign has a few dozen brainless simpletons to do stooge work and make it appear as if ANYONE in America cares for the current criminal in office.😂🤣

Rest in peace William ‘Bill’ H. Cameron, Canadian Naval war hero of D-Day. He was 100 years old, mere days away from this special reunion. Your service shall never be forgotten.
If you can please thank his family for his service, from us Americans who appreciate his sacrifice, and the sacrifice of so many others.
I wish I could say words to them and all the others.
Deepest sympathy. When this segment showed the cliff at Omaha beach, I really chocked. Up. The young men at Juno beach who fought so bravely against the best of the German infantry and tank cavalry, May they never be forgotten
Would all of our leaders respect the sanctity of that sacrifice and swear to achieve peace by negotiation.
I’ve never heard of him but he must have been some fella. Give his family our (Americans) condolences.
God rest his soul.
Rest in peace brother 🙏 🎉
Australia played a significant role also
Props to Tom Hanks for not letting this become a divisive interview and instead talking about being a more perfect Union. "America, America, God mend thine every flaw." Thank you to all those who have served our country in any way, including all the women who raise and educate the next generation. What you teach your children about our history and democracy is important.
I have loved Tom Hanks for 40 years, I have so much respect for this man.
I think Trump's got him beat, by farrr.

Hanks is one classy American. Smart, witty, eloquent, charismatic, a heart of gold. A gentleman in the truest form of the word. A mensch.
Maybe..... until you pull back the cover and expose the woke, bought and paid for Dem who rode on Jeffery's Plane...... you can figure out the rest.
@longhaulblue• HEAR ! HEAR ! THANK YOU MR TOM HANKS , STAND FORWARD, AMERICA NEEDS YOU . WONDERFUL STATEMENT, LETS HAVE HANKS FOR PRESIDENT.
Definitely a mensch.
He seems sensible, like just a regular guy. I guess he is, but he's a good actor to
Brilliant man ❤
Thank you Tom Hanks, for mentioning Canada re D-Day. Canada is so often forgotten as participants in some WWII events.
and Australia. Both my father and maternal grandfather fought in WWII.
Tom Hanks looks dignified, clean cut, short haircut, white shirt, dark suit. So refreshing to see a Hollywood celebrity looking TRADITIONAL AND DIGNIFIED
MY Grandpa was one of the last living WW2 Vets, died at age 96 in 2022. He even got Covid in 2020 and beat it! That man was tough as leather.
My nan had covid three times, so what??
"tough as leather, hard as krupp steel....."
Uncle Adi
Greetings from the painter land.
One of the last living WW2 vets?
There are over 50,000 WW2 vets still alive....
Did he get vaccinated ?
well metaphorically on surface there is good amount to agree but @2:30 just stop there tommy! u know there was tug of war between England and US whether it will be East India Company who will occupy there or a US entity. In history says UK/England managed to "fend" off US in that competition.
My grandfather lost 5 brothers. He left my father and uncle as toddlers. He was captain of a mine sweeper. He was a hero.
Awesome! My Grandfather was an electrician in the Army stationed in Germany during the war. He brought home some weapons previously owned by Nazis. Swastika marks on them and everything. Never got the story how they were acquired
My other grandfather was stationed in Italy. He was given multiple metals but threw them all in the ocean on hus trip home.
Yeah and the politicians enjoyed their lobster and caviar with their bougois friends
The pain and grief that hit your family must have been hard to bear .
@@aw5832Yes , I can understand that .
I have the need and necessity to let it sink in that these kind of reunions with the remaining veterans are going to be among the last ones for the years to come... Even if we have to accept that it is the natural aging factor setting in, I feel sad and proud at the same time for all the honors the french government and the international delegations have put in this one specific commemoration! As if they wanted to make it more special than on the other occasions, I believe everyone felt the need to give these last surviving men the due honors and respect!!
I salute Tom’s patriotism and respect for our beloved veterans and troops. I appreciate his ability to keep the importance on the memory of D-Day. He really is such a nice guy! It’s not a time for politics! Drop it CNN!
So Hanks wants more poverty, more illegals, more abortions, more wars and more kids having their genitals mutilated-the Biden agenda.
@@DebraJammis Are you really that stupid? For sure.
My dad was the radio man on the front lines with the Polish army. He was fighting along British soldiers in the Battle of Monte Casino. Which they eventually won. I felt so bad for him having to suffer what he did. He was shot in his shoulder, bitten by a scorpion, lost friends. He suffered as most of his friends with PTSD but nobody gave that suffering a name back then. War is suffering and heart breaking. I consider my dad a hero, God rest his soul. He died at 69 from multiple strokes.
We are all Thankful for your fathers service and sacrifice, may he rest in peace
Your Dad is a hero. Thank you for sharing. It's so important.
Your Father was/Is definitely a hero. God rest his Beautiful Soul! ❤
That's amazing, @krisw7534 My father was a British sergeant, in the 4th Indian Division, in Signals, like your dad, and he was at the bottom of Monte Cassino too. He also died at 69. It is amazing what those young men did, heroes all.
He was Stung by a Scorpion & they did have a name for PTSD back then, in WW1 it was called "SHELL SHOCK" & in WW2 it was called "BATTLE FATIGUE" & they just kept inventing Euphemisms to describe the same condition! Btw in the Korean war it was called "OPERATIONAL EXHAUSTION" & then finally during the Vietnam war in became PTSD.
Mr Hanks is surprising me through this cogent interview. My father was in the landing force and I’m realizing, perhaps for the first time, what a hero he was. He was 19 years old.
So young!
👏👏👏💗💗💙💙💙
💙💙
I, in particular doff my heart to your father and the rest of WW11 heroes. May the Lord rest their souls.
Wow! ❤😮 Bless you and your family 😮
Thank you Mr. Hanks. It is a service to us all to so gracefully recognize the morality of these people. My deep gratitude to you.
What an eloquent man wish he was a politician he speaks such sense
Hanks knows his history.
Well he shouldddddd🥰
Russia had the HUGE CASUALTY. The US came in last minute and acted ever since like they are heros. More like cowards. Without Russia...US had a good chance of LOSING ANOTHER WAR!
He most certainly does not. Hanks knows how to tell a story.

I would - as a German - like to answer all American commentators that I am personally so thankful that there have been so many honorable people to free Europe in 1944 / 1945. I personally cried in the Normandie for all the the people who died there.
Thank you that you have ended this horrible Nazi regime.
And now please do it in your own country and in the world again.
Democracy is in danger - round the globe.
We are all humans not a nameless crowd of cattles.
And there it is, CNN🤡🤡🤡 pretending were in the same situation as in 1944.
This time it is us that are the bad guys, or to be more specific and truthful, it is the Deemcats.
I never should have said it is us.
As another German I support this opinion absolutely. But I guess we are both WestGermans, and the most horrible thing is that we have all these mentally damaged Germans in EastGermany now, which support the dictator Putin because they were raised by criminals, calling themselves communists.
@@TheVirginGary, please clarify, you have Democrat in your Handle.
@@TheVirginGary The world is grey. America, though awful, is still the best chance the world has to continue this unprecedented era of peace and prosperity. We are The Lesser Evil.
The democrats are kinda like that. The Lesser evil. The least bad choice. Bc the bad choice, the worst choice, just so much... i can't even list it all and you discount all these overwhelming facts, claim them all as conspiracies or lies or idk what. But the pary of "law and order" has their boy CONVICTED in a fucking COURT OF LAW on obvious charges of a crime he obviously committed but none of ya;ll really understand so you claim it wasn';t a crime. Well, if it wasnt a serious crime, tehy couldn't charge anyone with it.
If it wasn't 34 counts of serious crimes with an EXTREMELY strong case, you could never charge a former president with them. But they did, and they convicted.
When ya'll see a convicted felon, you say things likle they don't deserve AC in 100 degree heat. They are barely human to you. But you're boy gets CONVICTED and none of you think it's real.
I acknowledge it;'s easy to assume it's politically motivated. Trump has openly stated that he would use powers that don't belong to POTUS to persecute rivals. And he did.
2/3 or 3/4 of GOP believe the election was not free and fair. I've looked and asked and have noit been shown a single piece of evidence to turn over more than literally a handful of votes out of a few hundred million. As usual the initially miscounted votes for the entire nation was nearly a net zero/. Even if all votes miscounted initially and re-applied in Trump's favor all in Michigan where it was closest, he'd still be THOUSANDS away from winning Michigan. Even if he WON michigan, he'd still not have enough electoral votes.
Convenient that allll the votes that you guiys think wer miuscounted or whatever were all in Trump's favor.
If the dem's are so incompetant, how were the able to pull off this insanely complex, widespread and impactful conspiracy without a single shred of real evidence being left behind?
In 2016, Trump basically said every state that voted for him, didn't have any voter fraud, but those other states! Oh boy! they all had millions of illegal immigrants casting votes for clinton!
How?? How'd they do that? Why did so many people then go and vote GOP for the other races on the tickets? Why did the results match the polls so closely other than of course a few thousand in a few counties which won Trump the WH despite receiving 3 million fewwer votes overall (something tump disputes again without evidence).
The vast majority of illegals live in the four big states: Cali, Tex, NY and that other place, America's swampy dong: FLA. CA and NY are firmly blue. Tx is firmly red. Only Florida was even up in contention.
SO why woudl millions of illegals RISK EVERYTHING to vote in an election where their vote wouldn't change anything (othjer than in FLA where Trump won,. therefor no fraud was possible, per Trumpism #1328)? It doesn't make any sense; there's no motive.
Ya'll so certain that 'me more money, economy good for all 340 million!" which is not actually the case and just fails even common sense. But many conservatives feel that the economy was much better under trump bc they had more money to spend before covid.
It's widely acknowledged thta thte first yr or so of a new Admin's rule, the economy is still essentially functioniung off the previous admin's policy. And we had been steadiyl booming for like 7 or 8 yrs when Triump took over. In Obama's terms., the Dow went from a low of less than 8k (not long after he took office) to almost triple that - about 22K - soon after he left.
Obama was handed a devistating deficit - not entirely Bush's fault considering Great Recession. That had turned into a healthy surplus when he finished.
What did tTrump do wiaht that surplus and booming economy? The absoliute last thjing any Econ minor would say to do: he CUT TAXES, causing a massive $1 TRILLION/YR EXTRA DEFICIT. Most of htose cuts impacted only (or primarily) his rich friends and himself since he was still runniung his companies and didn't divest shit.
I was a young Sergeant of Special Operations , Ranger, in my 21 to 23 years old in Angola, defending the Portuguese Empire against local movements trained in Moscow, and cubans.
I don´t know wether I was right or wrong, for Angola , Mozambique , Guinea people are far more worst living than in the portuguese times, but at the time, I thought I was doing the correct thing , serving and fighting for my country.
Holy cow, what an articulate, charismatic man.
My veteran Dad just walked by, heard Tom talking about the boot repair battalion, and he said “it takes 6 persons doing their duty behind the scenes per 1 fighting soldier…” He’s a walking history book and an overall treasure 💙
Your dad is the treasure not a usa actor. Mr. Hanks is nothing but a highly paid actor, a player and a fkaer. He is and was a FAKE SOLDIER! UNLIKE YOUR DAD WHO FACED GERMMAN BULLETS AND CANNON FIRE!
Back up a few steps everyone......now COMPARE Tom Hanks to Donald Trump??? On 2nd thought..........?
It takes more than 6, in WW2 it took 12, in Iraq it was 11. it's called Tooth to Tail.
@@jerlewis4291 thanks for the supplemental information!
Thats interesting. Tell you dad, God bless him and thank him for his service.
I was born almost 30 years after D-Day in Germany and I am forever grateful that these people, from a continent far away from Europe, took the decision to say: "We need to step in to do something!"
I bow may head to all these men that gave their life to help Europe to be free. You did the right move!

Thank you for your service! Respect!
I'm a US Army vet, was in the 82nd Airborne during the first Gulf War, the "line in the sand". I did my 4 years, got out, and graduated from college. Before I started my first job, I took time off and went to the beaches of D-day. I tried to imagine on that day what it would have been like to jump in. I was alone and remember the train ride to the stop. I was shaking with nervousness. I read the books and lived a bit of the life of a paratrooper so my imagination was running away from me. It was a balmy rainy day. I arrived at the station with a paper map in hand as Google earth didn't exist then. I hailed a taxi. The driver was an old Frenchman who was a young boy during the invasion. I spoke a bit of French and he spoke a bit of English and he gave me the grand tour. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Thank you to all the vets to gave themselves up to the cause. If I had a chance, I'd do my time all over again and if I lived in that time, I'd do that too. Long live the spirit of America!
I had to stop the clip temporarily to read your comment. It was moving, especially coming straight from Biden’s D-day speech. I cannot even imagine the sacrifices made by your bravery and those of others who landed in Normandy that fateful day. The world thanks all of you for your sacrifice and bravery so that we can live in an oppressive-free country. Love from the UK sir!
Funny, most Vets I’ve met don’t want to talk about WWII 🤔
Can you say? Arab Spring
Or Chat BOT GPT
Hell yeah brother thanks for your service! My mother served in the RAN onboard HMAS Sydney during desert storm 91
Thank you for your service!
Thank You for everything you did for our country. God bless you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'll give him credit, he didn't get particularly political even when he was given the opportunity.
Gotta love the throw back to Castaway too 😂
I regard Mr. Hank's Statements as very respektable and honorable. "You are the journalist. I am just an actor and read books. And met actual veterans here."
My best greets to you from Cologne, Mr. Hanks.
I cared for a Canadian veteran and he just passed at 106 years old. His recall was outstanding and he taught me everything about the war. He was interviewed and published a few times. He changed me !
It’s definitely a bonus to talk with these guys. As a teenager I met an old Army general whose very first combat action, as a second lieutenant, was Omaha Beach on D-Day. Half his platoon never made it out of the water. He said that between 6 June 44 and 6 May 45, his platoon was basically wiped out three times. He was one of four guys that got through the war relatively unscathed…which meant he got two Purple Hearts without losing a limb, a basic physical function or his life. I have to add that I knew some Vietnam veterans, mostly Marines or Green Berets, who had survived some harrowing experiences, mentioned out of respect. But that old general, long gone now, still stands out.
It’s sad and United States. They’re trying to take ann Frank’s diary out of library and out of school curriculum , no teaching about the holocaust. The reason reason is it causes depression and sadness among anyone reading those and learning about what happened in the concentration camps. My thought is they should feel sad and be empathetic for what happened during World War II. If we don’t teach it it’s going to repeat itself. It’s crazy. They don’t teach about slavery in the Civil War because people feel bad. It’s called empathy. I hated reading Anne Frank diary. It made me sad. I went to her home and Amsterdam and it bothered me all day. What she went through. She died. That’s the point it’s supposed to bother you
That must of been an amazing experience & a sad one too, these men were young boys & they went to fight in a war , that generation doesn’t exist anymore this can you imagine most 14 or over wanting to go to fight for freedom now days some are too lazy to dress in the morning & sit in front of a computer playing games all day what have we done to the human race 😞. I am afraid we have ruined the world by giving & having every at our feet , we live in a world that when your finished with something we throw it away & get another, this goes for food clothes phones just a throw it away , our society is a spoiled one , this is why the generation of these men who were young & had to fight in horrible conditions & see horrid visions don’t exist anymore & never will be again , so you were lucky to hear someone tell you what that generation went through & you will be able to pass it on the lesson you learned by listening to such history . I cry when I see these old veterans & imagine what they suffered ❤
@@ritacatalinich very well said Rita. When Tom Hanks was interviewed and he said do the math … he was right. Soon these vets will all be gone, we owe them so much. Blessings to you !
Lyndam, what a wonderful privilege you had.
My uncle was a medic on Normandy Beach. He never married but worked to take care of his widowed mother and youngest sisters and brother. I think he never recovered
My dad was a medic that work in a hospital got a purple heart work like heck to save the young soldiers to bring them home to there family he would be so ashamed of our government he barely talked about the war but said he was so happy to fight for his country
So much respect to him 💗💗💗
I believe they all carried their pain with grace.
My grandpa was a medic there too. He never talked about it. We only found out after he died and found his army records. We knew he was in the war but were told to never ask him about it, and he never ever brought it up
@@sillybilly121212 my father was a prisoner of war in Burma. I never knew until he died in 2012 when I read his diaries. He never said a word about it. These folks are real heroes!! Not the Republicans who think they are heroes. Much, much respect to all our fallen 💗💗💙💙
Tom Hanks is so much more than an actor and producer. He’s simply a great humanitarian, historian, human being. Thanks for sharing this episode.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 YOU REALLY BELEVE THAT . HO WELL
Do you know him personally??
Just curious bc ever since he randomly moved to Greece there have been some damning claims & insidious things that have come out regarding him, unfortunately.
He was on the Lolita multiple times so you can catch my drift. Such a bummer, he’s a great actor, not so sure about his character since I don’t hang in his inner circle
What a great man he is and how humble. Who said actors were not or did not have to be bright in my experience most think very hard about most things as this man has done without emotion !! Well done and said Mr Hanks !
My dad served on Sword and Juno beaches, operating the landing craft. He wanted to visit the beaches again but had to cancel due to PTSD. He was Norwegian serving in the Royal Navy. After the war he could never steer a boat in a straight line on the sea. I think D-day had a part in that. For all men that served there THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE.

@@BlurredUniverse357 heroes usually die, one in a million survives, by some mistake. If they were on the front line and survived, then they thought rationally, took care of themselves a lot, never took any risks, and simply succeeded.Those who survive were usually in positions that were not particularly dangerous, cooks, coders, various drivers, anti-aircraft defense, staff soldiers, military police, etc., etc. When they survive the war, as each year passes, it seems more and more to them that they were especially brave in the war and the deeds they did in the war become more and more brilliant, clear, and decisive. Those on the front line,how to say ,first line, die a lot, a lot, a lot. The rest of them are mostly "damaged goods "for life, they generally find it difficult to fit into the family, they find peace strange, they have become addicts of adrenaline and nothing can compensate for that feeling, the birth of a child is there somewhere, definitely even stronger (for a normal person), but even that lasts for a short time. And in war, that excitement, that fear,or a burst of courage lasts for days, weeks, months....there are alternate bursts of nice excitement, strong, and "bad" excitement, even stronger. And that feeling ,when, after everything, you understand that you are still alive, is indescribable.That euphoria can last for days.It is the observation of a no - hero who survived.
FYI, I love Tom Hanks and a week and a half ago watched Band of Brothers, followed by The Pacific, both produced by Tom Hanks. My uncle died in the Pacific, near New Guinea. He was in the Army Airforce and was engaged to Australian woman when the plane he was in, had mechanical problems. I think about him often and look forward to meeting him in the afterlife.
Well spoken Mr Hanks,with true sincerity and belief.Hold true to those values.
GOT YOU FOOLED
He did not take the bait. He gave a balanced and astute response regarding the world changing battle and its relevance in current times. Bravo!
I'm shocked but please
he is clever/wise enough and knows very well, that the reality lies far beyond the official picture. But to talk about that you need a real Person Interviewing who studied history and has real time to discuss worldviews and to stay reflected, even it hurts awfully.
He was good in his day but forrest Gump was a long time ago
Thank you , Tom Hanks. Daddy said ,"I don't need to watch 'Saving Private'. I was there. "
He was first wave. Silver Star, 4 bronze stars, and more. He could have gone home after his 2nd purple heart, but he stayed and found his was back to his company. He was helped by and worked with the French underground on his way. Fought at Battle of the Bludge. Helped liberate Dachau. A hero. He came home to "save lives instead of taking them" by becoming a skilled medical doctor, OBGYN/ surgeon, and more because he was a country Dr and had to do everything. He passed at age 99 July 2023.

Thank you❤

A wonderful brave man. Thank you for telling of his part and bravery in the war to save the world.
Bless you and your family. Thanks for sharing xoxoxox
God Bless him and all who gave their all!
What a well spoken, and educated man.
He didn't take her bait lol
My father was a Vietnam and Korean Vet. I never in my life saw my dad cry until I took him to go see saving Private Ryan. Dad never opened up to me and told me what happened. I only knew that it was, catastrophic for him. I miss him so very much 😔😢
That happened to me. I was in the movie theater and there happened to be a bunch of veterans in there. I heard crying during that movie from a lot of those men. Heroes every one of them. Anybody that serves is.
Amen!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My Dad was a Marine WWll. The best thing for the vets were the VFW’s the whole country was involved they could get together and feel safe and proud. Now what do we do for our Vets?
I'm deeply sorry for your lose my dad was in Korea he had all his teeth blown out he spent two years in a Tokyo hospital but survived it. I remember him nightmares 😢 when I was a kid . I will never allow myself or my children to forget my dad's service and your fathers service for us to be free. This Canadian/AMERICAN STANDS WITH YOU USA 🇺🇸 WE HAVE YOUR SIX GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
We owe it to your Dad & all the others who fought for DEMOCRACY to get to the polls in record numbers & eliminate this ruzzian threat AND this MAGA cult from our Govt.! They claim to have 48% of the vote. That leaves 52% up for grabs for the rest of us! We have 5 months to GET IT RIGHT! Get busy America, there's lots of WORK to do!!!
My dad fought in WW2 and received the bronze star. He died in 1980 and I thank him and all our vets and mlitary for alowing us all to live free in America...God bless them all..❤
Respect to your dad and all he did for our country 🫡
The title is about as misleading as most of CNN’s News. I was very interested in what Tom had to say and respected his ability to navigate off topic questions.
Tom Hanks is one of the absolute best actors ever.
I spent 25 years between the marine corps and the army over 5 years combat duty. I was a Vietnam vet. Retired from the military 1992. I am not ashamed that I listened to every word Tom Hanks spoke. And yes I cried some. Thank you for your feelings and honesty.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service ❤
Cried? Really? Hanks bloviation was tiring.
Thank you for your service!!!
@@jamescolvin575my god you lack critical thinking skills. 😂
After watching this entire interview i conclude:
This was totally worth my time. What a smart man! Respect to him!
Let's remember the lessons of the past. We must stop Putin from achieving his imperialistic ambitions
What a non answer, he wanted to say Trump threatens democracy, but didn't want to offend Anyone
Couldn't have said it better. Love it when actors show an ability to communicate intelligently about things other than themselves.
@@larrycasper4381 Trump will be offended

It’s embarrassing for leftists that these clowns need to be promoted and paid to endorse Biden. Even more embarrassing is the paid PR campaign of comments such as the one to which I am responding.
Hanks is a piece of garbage, too. Not unlike DeNiro, LONG rumored for his shady BS and called out by many, and his giving an endorsement is about as useful as Kevin Spacey doing so.
Seriously, who are these morons being paid to endorse Biden and make it seem as though ANYONE cares about him (beyond the 35,000 mindless drones still slightly watching MSM).
Thank you for reminding us of and reinforcing the valuelessness of Hanks and Biden. Cheers!
I admire and love Tom Hanks. He speaks to my family’s experience. My uncle died in Normandy. His mother, my father and all his surviving nine sibs grieved for their young son/brother their whole lives. Every American family made a sacrifice to defeat fascism, and their families still remember and grieve.
I still can’t imagine the magnitude of it! The sacrifice of those young men.
Most of these people where Patriots that thought they were fighting for a reason. In the World today it is hard to see who is the true villein. Putin is bad, but Biden is no hero!
Does TOM HANKS know he will one day be nominated for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.?
Tom Hanks would be a great President of the United States!
As a Canadian, watching what is unfolding in your country, I really wish Tom Hanks was THE voice we could hear more of.
His voice was heard on Epsteins island many times.
@@daviddovnino7585 Hey. Mr Trudeau is far from the most inspiring PM. And he can be fairly criticized. But he is no dictator. Dictatorship in Canada is pretty unlikely, given the structure of a Westminster style parliamentary democracy, and the division of powers between the federal and provincial/territorial governments.
On this day of all days, please accord Canadians the respect we accord you.
I think political discussions benefit from avoiding hyperbole.
Many of us are also not impressed with the leadership of the parties that hold the second- and third-largest number of federal seats.
I remind Americans that a NATO country has invoked section 5 only once in almost 80 years. That was the USA. Canada and the other NATO nations had your back. Canadian special forces were in Afghanistan beside your special forces long before anyone else.
Let us decide how to govern our nation. We are reasonably well informed as voters. Talking heads at FOX have no insights to share.
@@daviddovnino7585 you have no F'ing clue what's going on in Canada. Trudeau was democratically elected by the majority of voters across the country. NOT a dictatorship... a DEMOCRACY. And woke? if that means inclusion and doing the right thing to help your fellow human, yep, that's Canada. Welcome everyone, regardless of gender, religion, race, or anything else.
@@daviddovnino7585 Trudeau isn't the problem. Your cult membership and loyalty to misinformation and fear based outrage is.
If Dumbst somehow wins, you're going to have Schicklelgruber right across your border. And the tanks will roll. To take Ottawa! LOL
Everyone get off your phones and write Tom Hanks a letter especially if your Veteran and thank him for paying respects 🙏 you don't have to agree with anything that he said. But remember he was there on Sacred ground of our Warriors of Heaven to PAY respects **since you or I could not be there to do it**
As I listened to his comments commentary on D-Day recognition of thst period. Was heartfelt.
My dad wasn't in battle, but my ex-father-in-law was. He was a communications officer and went through THREE landings. He said he landed once, established the communications equipment, went up to the next beachhead and did it again. Three times. He MADE us watch Saving Private Ryan because the he said the battle scenes were the most realistic he'd ever seen. My father never talked about the war, but he did. I learned so much, and gained so much respect. I had no idea. "The Greatest Generation." They deserve that title.
Forever!
Amen!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
LOVE LIVE THE USA SOLDIERS FROM ANZIO BEACH HEAD!
@cmillerphotos, You can be so proud of your father in law , he performed a part for sure. RIP Sir
I'm proud of my father in law as well. He also was delivering the important information, mail etc. Only by motor bike, there is a name for all defence information givers. RIP George Edward Gibbs. Take care @cmiller & thank you for your compassion & story of your father in law 💙❤️😥💔
We owe a great deal to your Father & All the Brave Souls who hit that beach in 44 !!! Now we're on the verge of giving up the DEMOCRACY they fought for? We've got 5 months to turn this MAGA cult around & send them ALL packing ( or in jail, whichever comes first! ) They claim to have 48% of the vote. That leaves 52%, time to get busy AMERICA & make some MAJOR Changes!!! In Honor of these Vets Best Wishes to all & Good LUCK.
❤ They absolutely earned that title. My grandparents’ generation. I miss them terribly.
My grandfather fought in WW2. He was drafted in France when his wife was pregnant. He fought, held the line, and was captured at Dunkirk.
Spent 6 years in a Nazi P.O.W. camp.
Only met his daughter when he got home. She was 6.
He was a broken man. The French government completely ignored the veterans. They got no pension. No assistance. No help. Lots of memorials for foreign soldiers, but the French who fought were deliberately forgotten. By everyone.
He never really spoke about it.
He died years ago now. I miss him.
That sounds horrible. My grandfather died in the concentration camp. I have never met him. They took him when my father wasn't even 3 years old...
All wars are terrible and we all should be against them, against any violence, fascism, hatred, and all those things that separate us!
As kevincerce5056 wrote: "God Bless all that served."
He was a fool for going
So sad to hear how the French treated the veterans!
So sorry for your loss. But that blood is in you! Be proud, you are blessed to have that man in your family.
My father's brother died on the beaches of Normandy. 16 years before I was born. My dad talked of him from time to time and that is how I got to know my uncle.
It was Saving Private Ryan that made stop regretting never having been to combat...
Huzzah and kudos to Mr. Hanks. Well said.
My father was a corporal in the 82nd Air Borne USAAF. My mother was a sergeant in the Marine Corps. Thank you for honoring all those who were committed to doing the right thing.
Your parents are real heroes, and we would not be free if it weren't for heroes like your parents. We owe a debt that we can never repay. I only hope my life will be worthy of the sacrifice so many made. If they are still with you, please thank them from me.
Thank you and God Bless your father and mother. 🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗
Bless your parents for their service, but I’d like to politely point out (from a fellow veteran) the 82nd Airborne was never part of the USAAF. Any All American (their nickname) would tell you that.
@@i_noah_guy18 my mistake...Dad was in the 82nd, 101st and was in North Africa, France, and Belgium. He was medically evacuated to Iceland in 1942 and was returned to service after.He said little of his service (especially to his youngest daughter) and I didn't know of his purple hearts (2) when he was alive. I learned bits and pieces from my older brother. His service records burned in the 1970's I've just started to research. The mistake is mine.

Your dad is part of the Greatest Generation! Men like your dad saved us!

"Your dad is part of the Greatest Generation!"
No. Just no.
If they were so great the war wouldn't have been necessary in the 1st place.
You can't have it both ways.
If the US hadn't been so cowardly isolationist in 1939 then Hitler and Stalin would never have crawled out from under their rocks (yes Stalin also invaded eastern Europe in 1939), WW2 would have been largely prevented, and the Cold War couldn't have even happened, because Soviet Russia would never have the opportunity to annex all of eastern Europe during the 2nd front of WW2.
So no, not so great.
They did what was necessary at the time, just as their parents and grandparents did in WW1.
The greatest generations are the ones that actually managed to hold onto peace - it's a shame that such a path is not even celebrated.
My great uncle Hollis Russell landed on the beach that day, on the boat he met two twin brothers with Russell as their last names. They could not swim, my uncle helped these guys but unfortunately one was killed in the water and the other brother made it to the beach but was shot down. He said they were some of the last boats to land and he could not believe how many of our soldiers were "stacked up like wood" bc they were being killed so fast. Knowing this I can't imagine the Bravery of these men to keep on heading straight into overwhelming gunfire. The Greatest generation to ever live, how Brave and Honorable these men are. We civilians have no idea how hard that would be, knowing the chances of you making it to shore was slim. Thank you to ALL of these Brave men.
My father landed two days later, on June 8. He said there were still bodies rolling in the surf.

He avoided the question in a round about way
Both my dad and step dad were WW2 vets..both passed on
What an amazing thinker... Not only has he coloured the fabric of our lives in his movies, he perfectly describes what we all hope America is and will continue to be. Thank you Mr Hanks!
I really hope Tom Hanks is right. Sadly, I don’t know if I have the same faith in Americans coming together as they did in 1944. I believe many would answer the call. I just wonder if enough could be shaken awake in time to make a difference.

Never better said. No politics involved. Precise. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

MR. HANKS HAS NEVER, EVER PROPPOSED BETTER TREATMENT FOR VETERANS. HE HAS NEVER, EVER PROTESTED TO THE USA GOVT. THAT THEHOMELESS BE TAKEN OFF THE STREETS, HOUSED OT CARED FOR HE IS JUST A GLAMOUROUS LOOKING GUY WHO ACTS OR PLAYS @ BEING A SOLDIER HE IS HIGHLY PAID FOR HIS WORK AND PAID MUCH MORE FOR HIS ROLE AS A SOLDIER THAN ANY ANY USA SOLDIER HAS EVER BEEN PAID. LET'S WAKE UP HERE!
My father was in the 544 combat engineering group went over before D-Day to try to get some land bridges and floating bridges up before D-Day hit. City spent 2/3 of the time underneath his bulldozer trying to not get blown up from artillery while they were trying to get some of these bridges into place. He did not speak a lot about the war, I believe because he did see so much killing. But he spent his years there throughout his tour all through Normandy and into Belgium and all over Western Europe. I have maps of his route and I long to get the sum of the towns that he helped free.. bless everybody even remotely involved in that bloody war may their memories never be forgotten
Her: "finally, without mentioning, Donald Trump.."
Also her: *mentions Donald Trump*
Why in the hell would you bring up trump on this anniversary of D- Day, thank you Hanks for not taking the bait, Shame on you Amanpour.
Over 5 million hits in a week, YT sells hits.
She is disgusting.
Trump says he'd be a dictator , joking it's only for a day. It's not that weird to think back of what happened in 1930s when someone said that and some other Trump phrases.

Are you in for a major “disappointment!”
Despite this being a CNN interview, I appreciate Tom Hanks’ perspective. He didn’t fall or get baited into a “this side or that side” conversation. He spoke of humanity in general and kept the focus on the reason for this event. Thank you Tom ❤️
He *did* talk about the dangers and threatsbof fascism, isolationism - and in terms of things to be avoided. He just wasn't *inflammatory* about it. When "one side" us "America First"ing, you don't suppose it was an *accident* that he mentioned Charles and Madison Square Garden?
@@Shadesightexactly! Thank you.
Amanpour tried multiple times to bring Trump into the conversation in order to bring about comparisons, as is CNN's M.O. the last eight years. Hanks took the bait on this tactic but didn't chew on it enough to be castrated over it.
that lady is crooked one sided ,"so call journalist "
I do get that there was a little, maybe just a hint, of an undertone with Tom, as stated in the comments here, but he didn’t say enough to really get into it. At least it was a more pleasant and respectful response than what we normally hear from CNN guest interviews. I respect & understand that everyone feels differently and has different opinions and perspectives. I just don’t like when people (especially celebrities) are outright hating and disrespectful with a lot of nonsense. I am ok with people who have different opinions than me, when we can agree to disagree with respect for each other as human beings. So that’s why I admired this response from Tom. Whatever he feels about one side or the other, he kept the conversation fairly neutral, not spewing hate towards anyone and kept focus on the event.
"The good deed that we practice with the neighbors..."--- I think that is the most important thing I have heard Tom Hanks say, ever!
I just got ripped off, fooled, bamboozled.
This interview gives me hope that this country WILL survive as " a more perfect union " Thank you , TOM !
Yeah, that sounds like something I've said often enough. It never said to preserve a perfect union, but in order to form a more perfect union.
We've only one major impediment, an observation made by an ally, "The Americans will do the right thing, after exhausting every other possibility".
Words I'm sure Tom is also well aware of.
I was thinking the very same thing. We'll make it.
He maybe a bit optimistic, future will tell us.
Then you see an interview with a MAGA supporter…. 😂
