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. :)
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!
I discovered TRY Channel about a year ago where I "met" you & other TRY-ers. Your channel has been such a wonderful blend of fun and information about Ireland, Irish culture & Irish history. Please don't stop! Sláinte! 🍻
Amazing story, Clare !! Thank You for bringing this to my attention ! This story is always left out of the History of D - Day . Have a wonderful day ! 🧡🤍💚☘️☘️☘️
Loved to see the sweet, lighthearted, pleasant Dermot……..LOL. I love your tours as I typically only hit the coast so seeing interior cities plus they’re history is wonderful.
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!
Happy 💯 Birthday to Maureen Sweeney! 🎉🎼🎶🎂🥳 Much love and respect to you, ma'am, from Canada!🇨🇦❤️. I'm delighted to know that she finally became aware of the important role she played in the success of the D-Day landings, and that she has been officially recognized and thanked for it! Always a pleasure to see Dermot make an appearance, as well! Sláinte!
Wow, what a story. What a magnificent slice of history. Truly wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this, I would never know this if not for you sharing this with us. Blessings,❤.
Hi, My name is Dick 😢 That would be unfortunate, if it were true. Anyway, this is the Story I’ve been waiting to see. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I love the storytelling, the Irish stories are rich and colorful. A real Joy.
Not sure why D-Day is resonating so hard for me this year, and I commented on this video when it first posted, but honestly, this is such a cool story.
You forgot to introduce me to your handsome dark haired tour guide. (Don't forget to build me up a bit...you know, good looking...smart...athletic and modest...don't forget modest)😉
My father wasn’t part of D-day, but did come ashore in Normandy a couple of month’s later, and his parents were both born in Mayo, so this was a pretty cool video for me. 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 Dermott never hurts, either. 😂
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.
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.
The Irish woman who changed the course of history preented by the Irish woman who advances the course of citizen journalism with each video she produces. My father was dodging buzzbombs in North London at the time monitoring Soviet radio broadcasts for the British United Press. Hi to Millie.
Maith. Labhraíonn tú an Ghaeilge go han-mhaith a stór, agus is deas na háiteanna a raibh cónaí orm nuair a bhí mé óg a fheiceáil. Barróg!!!🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
well if Dermot doesn't like the camera, know who you should give a go again? Blaithin, maybe check out her show...and record everything so i can watch. jk

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.

Even the little lighthouse light tidbit at the end was great. Never knew any of this. Cheers to ya.
Oh they’ve so much more on the tour but I don’t want to give it all away! The architecture is very unique for a lighthouse!
Videos like this are so feckin' lovely. Thank you.
Thank you
Dermot hates cameras as much as he hates peanut butter.
Wow, what a story. What a magnificent slice of history. Truly wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this, I would never know this if not for you sharing this with us. Blessings,❤.
So cool!
WOW this was so cool thanks for sharing it Claire

Wonderful story!!

That would be unfortunate, if it were true.
Anyway, this is the Story I’ve been waiting to see. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I love the storytelling, the Irish stories are rich and colorful. A real Joy.
And Lovely to see Dermot. I just Watched Ciara squirt Pickle brine on Dermot 20 minutes ago. Absolutely Hilarious. Dermot twice in a Day is a treat.
What an interesting and fun summer youve had.
I love this!! ❤
You always make my day … ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I adore these videos, Clare, especially fascinating historical gems from the lesser-known parts of Ireland.
Every video Clizzy, is a banger!!!..... Love the fact that she loves, respects and is so proud of her incredible history and culture....
Not sure why D-Day is resonating so hard for me this year, and I commented on this video when it first posted, but honestly, this is such a cool story.
Great video!
luv me some Clare 😁
Thanks for shedding light on this remarkable person, Clare!
Fantastic!
Maureen is amazing 😍... hope she lives for many more years! (My Irish Gimma was a few weeks shy of her 107th birthday when she passed at home in 2018)
I'm loving this series, Clare!
Your man there at the light could be on television
He was very easy on the ol' eyes, wasn't he?
@@Faeriedarke he was! He is!
So cool!!!
It was past time for me to go to bed when I saw this, but I had to watch. I love things like this, thank you so much!
You forgot to introduce me to your handsome dark haired tour guide. (Don't forget to build me up a bit...you know, good looking...smart...athletic and modest...don't forget modest)😉
my grandfather on my mom's side was a combat medic for Canada, not sure if this effected him or not, but it sure made a difference for a lot of others
My father wasn’t part of D-day, but did come ashore in Normandy a couple of month’s later, and his parents were both born in Mayo, so this was a pretty cool video for me. 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 Dermott never hurts, either. 😂
Dermie!
i love dermot even if he doesnt love me 😂😂😂...he is just as grumpy as me! great episode! i mean if that is the right term ❤
Thought the title meant it was about Claire
😆
DERMOT!!!
Edit: Oh, wow... love how history is as formed just as much by the little people as it is by the high and mighty 😁👍🏻

I Love these! But did you say 'Guinness Zero'?!?
I did. I was driving! It’s the non-alcoholic version.
I've heard of it. Sacrilege!@@Clisare
@@ClisareNow it makes a lot more sense why you would be drinking NA. Congratulations, sweetie!
Well who new Dermot didn't like camera's. Next time bring him a peanut butter sandwich.
Wait. What's a Guinness Zero
guinness with no alcohol
Guinness 0???1??
Abomination!!!1!!
I was driving! I’d rather have a Guinness zero than no Guinness 😂
