I woke up for work at 6.30am this morning (06/06/2024) slightly tired, slightly aching, slightly grumpy . . . . but the bravery & sacrifice of these guys, was the 1st thing I thought of today. SUDDENLY DOING A JOB I SLIGHTLY HATE, IN THE SLIGHT COLD & GENTLE RAIN - *doesn't really seem all that important anymore*. I'm gonna stop complaining about my life! We'll *NEVER* forget their sacrifice 🖤
@golic7123 You are right, how difficult it is to measure the desperate situation that those men (most of them very young) went through and the courage they had to fulfill the assigned task no matter what the cost "God bless them" Greetings from Argentina.
So true, Its heartbreaking - i can never comprehend their bravery, and the sheer level of courage & national-devotion they displayed An era of men ( . . mostly just boys!), i can never hold myself in comparison to
Haunting yet powerful. We must never forget, always remember and preserve. Thank you and salute to all those who participated in D-Day, on the beaches or inland.
So beautiful and emotional. My husband’s uncle was in D-Day, while my dad was in the Aleutian Islands and one brother was in Iceland and the other in Italy. These men were so young and so brave. My dad was 18 when he enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor. Going to Normandy has got to be such a moving experience. Thank you.
@deniseroe5891 Thank you very much for telling us the story of your family in World War II. I can only say "God bless you all for what you did for your country and for what you did for the whole world." Greetings from Argentina.
I just walked 80 miles in 32 hours in memory of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing. My old regiments predecessors the ox’s and bucks light infantry spearheaded the invasion by attacking Pegasus bridge in horsa gliders . RIP fallen warriors 🙏
@koozer7261 Thank you very much for telling us your story. Incredible what you have done in memory of those brave men. In a previous video I made a "Then and Now" with photos of the Pegasus Bridge in Bénouville ua-cam.com/video/2iLNjQb5xCk/v-deo.html "Let us never forget them" Greetings from Argentina.
Absolutely magnificent! Your research was superb. God bless all those who fight for our freedom regardless of time. Please keep up the great work. Heroes all!
Thank you for this video. I have seen quite a few then and nows from many different channels all with good and not so good ways of transitioning. This is a good example of how important it is to transition BACK to original clip as it adds to the impact. Some don't and It loses alot of the effect.
There is a reason they are referred to as the greatest generation of our time. They faced unbelievable odds and witnessed horrors like they had never seen before. Yet they continued to charge forward. Many of them were just boys as young as 16,17, and 18 yrs old. A lot of them lied to the military recruiters at the time of their enlistment. Many signing up to go to war right after the attack on Pearl Harbor. These boys became men on that day. Many with vengeance on their minds and patriotism in their hearts. May God bless everyone of them. Because without their sacrifice the world would be a very different place today. God bless them all and God bless America. May we never forget. 🇺🇲

@paramarky thank you for your comment. The landing in Omaha and particularly in the Easy Red Sector was the best documented of the 5 beaches, however I am working on future videos to complement with photos of the other beaches. If you'd like to watch, I've made a previous video about the 5 landing beaches, showing them in order from Sword to Utah ua-cam.com/video/meh4WS-eeRk/v-deo.html Greetings from Argentina.
@Mike-kj8qg You are right, thank you for pointing out the error, it was a major oversight. Comments like this help me improve the videos. Greetings from Argentina
@marcrigor6423 You're right. Some of the vegetation is natural, however most of the trees were planted in the current American Cemetery. Greetings from Argentina.

Finally pictures that are put into perfect perspective so we can see what and where they were.

Howcome there was hardly any tall grass in the 40s? Makes it almost seem like a different place.
