They used to be an old man who was a regular at my local pub and he sat on his own for years just having a pint and occasionally nodding acknowledgment in someone's direction. When he passed we all went to his funeral because we had found out he had hardly no family or friends left, anyway on his coffin was the maroon beret of the British airborne Division and the priest delivered his eulogy, it turned out he'd fought on d day at the merville battery and jumped in to Germany on operation varsity, the crossing of the Rhine. These men deserve to be remembered for ever, the best of us

Thank you for your service! At 1:15 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 27, Ed Manley died in hospice care at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in West Palm Beach. He had lived to be 100 and a much loved resident of Briny Breezes since 1993.The U.S. Army awarded him two Bronze Stars for his heroism in Normandy and Bastogne, a Purple Heart for wounds incurred while being taken prisoner, and two presidential citations. On June 6, 1994, the 50th anniversary of D-Day, Manley returned to France and jumped into Normandy again. He was 72. Edward Rodney Manley was born on Nov. 5, 1921, in New Jersey. His life before the war was nearly as colorful as his service. Posted by The Coastal Star on March 2, 2022 at 11:11

Thanks to all our veterans who served this great nation.

My grandfathers were both veterans of WW2, fighting for the Polish under the British and partisan forces. Sadly, they both passed away before I was old enough to hear any of their stories directly from them. The best veteran story I have is when I was at cedar point, humming and hawing over an intimidating looking ride with a friend of mine, and as we step aside in the lineup an old man passes us. I tell him that because of his courage, I certainly can't wimp out and withdraw from the ride. He says, "this is nothing, I used to fly a p51 in WW2. This ride takes me back". He had a wide grin and a twinkle in his eyes as he spoke, and I felt duly humble. Thanks to all these men for their service... democracy is sometimes very hard one, and it is sad to see that America may choose to simply vote it away. Please think of this when November comes.

As a dutchman I am saddened by the fact the car and the horn were taken from this hero.

We have left so much unchecked and unbalanced for so long that the powers that be have taken complete advantage of it as well as total control over us. But, I can tell you that thinking it doesn’t matter anymore is just one of the many things that went wrong along this countries journey to where we find ourselves today. It’s all hardly any one persons fault, but collectively I believe we have all played a small roll. I know that much has been done to all of us that is absolutely no fault of our own. Much has been done to keep our eyes focused on hating and killing each other, and keep our gaze off of the real enemy. Everyone watch this trick over here, all while we pull off the real magic trick right in front of your faces and take everything from you, and do whatever we want to do. Believe me when I say that I totally get where you’re coming from. This is in no way trying to downplay your comment or the validity of it. You have a solid point my friend, and I know that. I was the exact same way for a long time. I would just like to urge you not lose hope and try to come to the same road many others are in that it does matter. You, and everything about you matters a hell of a lot. You matter, your life matters, your voice matters, and all your opinions matter. I know it may not seem like they do sometimes, but they do. Don’t lose hope my friend. There are way more of us than there will ever be of them. The pendulum is swinging. Fight the good fight. God bless you and yours.

God Bless him, thank you for your stories. RIP Ed & Thank you for your Service

He fought on D-Day and lived to tell his story. God bless you.

The last few of these guys left. Im embarrassed and ashamed that they have to live to see the collapse of what they where all told they "fought and died for"..

Hey, we’re not speaking German

This guy is warrior through and through , heart of gold

I have tremendous respect for this gentleman, great interview

He was tickled he’d hit 99 and had a shot at 100. I guess he was looking back at everything that he went through and couldn’t believe how lucky he was to make it so far in life. That generation was amazing growing up through the depression and then going off to war in WW2. All these guys should have been interviewed on film starting in the 1950s or 60s so that we could have had a greater understanding of what they went through so their families would be able to show the coming generations after they passed away.

"This November I'll be a hundred! Only the good die young"! Well said

To have stumbled on to this nearly 100 year old spry WWII army veteran's amazing account of his D-Day1 follies is amazing! I hope he lives on for at least another decade!

The fact that he has a tare In the left ear tells me he had a ring in it at 1 time and that proves he's just a Human being. Thanks for Your Life Soldier.
