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 🌺

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.

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.

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.

​@@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.

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.

My deepest respect to all of these men. This brought tears to my eyes. We’re forever grateful

"Glad the Germans don't know how to shoot at toothpicks"

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 have no one left. No one!" 🥺

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 🌺

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. 🇺🇸

Citino was my professor at Eastern Michigan in the 90’s.

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 "

Not gonna lie, listening to that veteran brought a tear to my eye!--- Such bravery!

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.

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 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.

Google honors D-Day with a Doodle.....not.

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 .
