    Irish/Canadian actor James Doohan, Scotty on Star Trek, was on Juno Beach for the 6th of June 1944. His life and the lives of 14,000 other Canadians were spared from the storm of June 5th because of that weather report.

    What is really cool is my father, whose mother had the last name of Malone and was an immigrant to America, was one of those American soldiers in the D-Day Invasion. He would have loved to know this. :)

    What a lovely video, Clare. You could see the pride Vincent has for his mother's work. Good man.
    So much history most people would never be aware of.

    Dermot's fuckin' hilarious! He seems like that type of friend that you can't help but playfully push their buttons, because they'll always give you a good laugh for it!

    Sending ♥from America. Enjoy all your vids, Clare. This one is extra special to me. My uncle Jack Sweeney was in the US Navy at the Normandy landing, he came home married and named one of his daughters Maureen. He would have loved this story!

    Because the Republic was officially neutral, the fact that they were supplying the Allies with weather information had to be kept secret. It would be a long time before the word got out.

    @SarahRenz59 Рік тому +1

    Great story, and how wonderful to learn that Maureen Sweeney is still alive at 100! Lighthouses are so cool; it's a shame that the US Coast Guard has automated all of theirs, eliminating the need for a full time keeper. I'm surprised that Dermot is camera shy, what with him being an actor.
