My Grandfather was at D-Day landings, he fought for Humanity, in his later years he fought for Palestine and the good Palestinian people. We must stop the genocide. Free Palestine!
My great uncle Jim was a British tank commander during D Day. He was sitting on top of the lead tank with the top hatch open when a German anti aircraft gun, with its barrel lowered, sent a shell directly into the front of his vehicle. He was blown 30 foot in the air suffering extremely bad burns and landed in a ditch. His life was saved when a platoon of African / American soldiers found him later that day. He was so badly burnt and blackened from his injuries that the African American soldiers assumed he was one of their own and he later regained consciousness in an American field hospital! Amazingly he survived and subsequently lived well into his 80’s. Heroes
My Father and 4 of his brothers were all WW2 veterans. My Dad took part in the invasion of Normandy! He was 23 yrs old at the time. I can't even imagine what was going through his mind that day! Thank God he and his 4 brothers all survived the war and made it home. Tomorrow will be the 80th anniversary of the invasion. Thinking of that I get very emotional! My Father passed away July 17th 2011 at the age of 92. Since then his 4 brothers have all died! I just want to say Love you Dad and miss you very much. Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
I have been in a very teary state leading up to this Ann. Now watching the clips. I am worse I am Canadian. My Dad landed on Juno Beach that day at the age of 20. He never talked about it. We watched the specials on TV but he never spoke about it He had a good life when he came home. Worked hard and had a good life. My parents raised us to be appreciative and strong. We offered to take him to the 50th Ann celebrations but he didn't want to go. Seeing some of these gentlemen in the beach band their emotions. I understand now. My Dad lived to be 89 and would have been 100 this past March. All I can say is....Thank You Dad....Thank you Gentlemen God bless you all. 😘🇨🇦
And I thank God for your dad, Donna, and all the others like him. You must be so proud of him. Your dad was one of a very, very special generation of men and women, and 'We WILL remember them.' x
I get a tear in my eyes every time I see these great men going over for the D DAY memorial week. My own father was there a week after D DAY. Thank you everyone who fought 80 years ago for the freedom of the world. RIP all those who died for the freedom we have today 🙏🙏

never before in the history of mankind has so much been owed to so few. the greatest generation that has ever seen the light of day is almost gone. i will never forget them and my kids will hear the stories i have heard from them. may they all live forever in the history of the free world. never forgotten, never dying in our racial memory. true heroes all.
My father was parachuted in the night before DDay. His grandson ( who he never met )did two tours in Afghanistan in a combat role as a teenager.So yes the younger generation would and have answered the call.
All I can say is thank you. Thank you for my life and freedom. Thank you for the life I have now. My grandad and men like you gave me everything. My grandad was a white cockney for East London and I would not be here if it wasn't for you. God bless
As a German, I am deeply touched by these images. My family, town, sorroundings lost not only countless lifes in WW1 and WW2 but also took so many... I had relatives that were standing on the other side of those veterans. Sitting here and watching this, in our Europe, our home - is so deeply touching. My deepest respect to those brave men and those who left their lives for freedom. We must defend it at all cost.
AT 56 YR OLD IT ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE WHEN I SEE THESE OLD BOYS ! OUR YOUTH HAVE'NT A CLUE HOW GOOD THEY HAVE IT THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN AND MILLIONS MORE WHO DIED FOR US ? WE SHALL NEVER FORGET GUYS ! GODBLESS 🙏👊🇬🇧
Deepest respects to these courageous heroes and thank you for saving our parents and grandparents here in Europe. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are. 🇧🇪🇪🇺💖🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
I am French and I m very grateful for what those guys done for France and Europe, and even if they were not here, I don't forget neither the Russians who paid a huge sacrifice too! and also the poor forced Germans, Romanians, Ukrainians who were forced to fight for the nazis! to all Thanks you and hope war never comes back again , even if we ve never been so close to WW3
Ignored by the media circus, eighty years ago today Rome was liberated and the British Indian Army was getting stuck in out in Burma. In far worse conditions than Normandy. No media hype for them I’m sad to say. Let’s remember all theatres and a little recognition for them wouldn’t go amiss. Fergal Keane, hats off for the brilliant work you did for the 14 th Army out East.
Whats also ignored was that the US was able to stage an equally impressive amphibious landing around the same time on the other side of the planet with the invasion of Saipan.
Totally agree and it is awareness like yours that gives those who sacrificed the necessary attention, gratitude and respect they deserve. D-day will always have so much significance in WW2 due to landing in a fully occupied France, that this is always going to be the case hence the amount to attention it receives.
There will never be another generation like them , brave men and women facing the worst things you can imagine and they did it ! Gave the ultimate sacrifice. And for what. Today's generation? The youth of today don't deserve the sacrifice those brave men and women made .
It was so moving to see these old soldiers, each with their own personal memories of comrades they lost, and the exspirinces of being in a fierce battle where death could come to you at any moment on that momentous day in history, June 6 1944.
So many gave there lives to keep UK a free & democratic country. It must be so sad for those still alive to see what the UK has become & what those brave men did for us. Most of UK now must now be ashamed of what we have now become.
I once saw a UA-cam video of a WW2 vet that knew an American civil war vet when he was a child. To speak to somebody that’s alive today that spoke to a civil war veteran is mind blowing to me.
We owe all the freedoms we have today to these brave men. I am 38 years old now, and even now I often imagine what it must have been like to arrive on those beaches on D day. To see your friends and comrades fall, to know you must push on, to know that the future for your grandchildren, and their grandchildren, depended on you that day. How all the Jews trapped in concentration camps depended on you for their futures as well. How I would love to spend hours with them and hear their stories. We must also make sure that those who fought and those who lost their lives on D day so we can live in freedom and peace did not do so in vain. All talk of a 'world war three' needs to stop, now. We must be better, we must think better and we must do better, for us and for them.
And I wonder when the old generation is going to stop quoting Hollywood movie lines. The D-Day was just a conversion to ease pressure on the advancing Soviet troops in the East. They were just cannon fodder because of a deal between Stalin and Churchill. As a German, they didn’t fight for my freedom but rather the fact that we are now communicating in English with each other.
My grandfather was a German general who notably oversaw the Atlantic Wall. I was in Normandy in June 2015, 2019 and 2024 as well as in Bastogne (Belgium) in December 2019 for the celebrations of these battles. I am always moved to see the veterans of the allied countries. I think this war could have ended sooner if intelligent German officers had shown more courage
I would like to buy each and everyone of these heroes a beer and shake their hand. Different breed of magnificent people then. Truly humbled watching this.
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.
Thank you for your services, because of your sacrifice, we live now with the freedom. I used to live in France and now in America. God bless all veterans, my dad was one of them! Very proud!
So sad to see that generation going! Those men were heroes and still are. I wonder if we would rise to the occasion? I hope we never have to. They don’t want us to have to. That’s why they did what they did. Remember though the freedom isn’t free.
80 years ago, General Eisenhower directed the greatest invasion force in history. Shortly before D-Day, he came to inspect the American troops in training in Exmoor, England. One day, he told his aides to wait for him while he climbed alone to the summit of a hill. There, aware of his helplessness, the man who would become President of the United Sates turned to the Lord is prayer. Whatever battles we face, prayer to God is our greatest weapon.
We owe these men so much.
