Yes absolutely! Schools will teach gender identity bs but will not spend 10 mins on what these men gave to secure our freedoms and the liberation of Europe.
no it's our duty to fully understand who sent these young people to their deaths.. the same criminal class who do it today and keep getting away with it
“How I ever survived that slaughter and kept my sanity I will never know” I’ll never know either. All I know is that this man delivered a terrifying story. And I’m affected to my core.
Thanks to that gentleman for his service from Ireland. My own dad is a Veteran of a different conflict. He was an Irish UN peacekeeper in the Congo in 1961, gave 6 month tour there, involved in several combat situations, as a Bren he was responsible for giving cover fire on several occasions. Apparently suffered nightmares for years when he came back. He's 83 now. I'll be in Normandy in July on Holidays this year so I'll be visiting Dday beaches and cemeteries again this year, haven't been to Belgium yet but plan to do some day to pay respect to these great men. My grandfather was a member of the British Homeguard in London during the blitz, he met my Irish grandmother over there and witnessed the bombing of London loads of times while my grandmother was pregnant with my mother. Eventually came back home to Tipperary Ireland in 52 with his wife and 2 girls.
UGHHH I keep kicking myself for not going. I HAVE to go to the WW2 Memorial next year on D-Day or Memorial Day or Veterans day. Or all 3. It’s the 80th anniversary. Thank you deeply to all those who helped the war effort. Your sacrifices will be remembered for millennia.
I’m a Canadian & my Father & my Uncle( Mothers’ brother) were in WWII. They both survive but my Father was a very quiet person,not knowing what the war did to him mentally. He pass away in his late eighties. I only found out this year he told my oldest sister in his seventies that he got to see one of those concentration camps but I can’t remember which one, he just couldn’t talk about it to much. He said it was very real & he said he was sick for couple of days in what he saw. He was very upset talking about what he saw as the people were just walking skeletons. He said some people may think it didn’t happen but he witnessed the horrible experience of these people.😂😂😂😂😂😂 I feel the whole month of November should be for remembering all veterans in all wars,not just one day in November.
Mr.Foy what a fantastic speaker you are and representative of your comrades in arms. My Dad slogged up the Italian peninsula and his brother was at the Battle of the Bulge. They never spoke of it. Thank you for helping us families to better understand what they and all of you went through. 🙏
I just lost my old Warrior only a few days ago. He began his service at the end of WW2 as part of the Japanese Occupation force and served on through the entire Korean Campaign until the first few months of active hostilities in Vietnam, where injuries accrued in Korea forced him out of active duty. SSgt. James "Hillbilly" Shelton 03/12/1933 - 05/28/2023
Thank you, Mr. Foy and all others that fought in this awful war. It was a lot to ask of our young men at the time. The greatest generation. Not only for the USA, but for the world. ❤❤❤
This is when soldiers used to fight for justice and humanity , nowadays we are fighting for resources, money, and greedy politicians who have no idea how to improve this world.
We must never forget these men and what they did, it is important to relay their history to the next generations to come so these great moments in history are never forgotten.
Grateful for this incredible story and video. This reminds me of Gen. Washington at Valley Forge. So as these events continue to happen in American Military History the people who benefit from their super-human sacrifices must ensure America survives and thrives over the current attacks from within of the immoral forces who spread chaos without shame or humility.
it amazes me so many people don’t care about not just their own history but world history. the saying “if we don’t learn from history we will be doomed to repeat it” is 100% true in today’s time
Thank you for your service sir, it’s the men of the greatest generation like him that we young men need to look up to. ~Future U.S Marine Marcus Delk of KFHS, with only four days left as a freshman. ⚓️🌎🦅
Jack Foy, you and your fellow warriors exhibited heroic actions above and beyond what we in this time can imagine! I, as a grateful American, deeply thank you for your service and sacrifice. So glad you made it back.
Thank you sir, for your bravery, honor, and service. I am from a much younger generation, but I know that I probably would not be living in a relatively peaceful world had it not been for the self-sacrifice of people like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. With Gratitude and Respect, H.

Live each moment as if this man was standing next to you. 1 day a year he stood with his fellow soldiers. Did he feel pride? Probably not. He probably felt deep and profound sadness that all his fellow soldiers couldn’t live their lives to the age 25. Wouldn’t watch their children and grandchildren grow. Never again know the soft touch of their partner’s cheek. Would this man be proud of who you are? Would the young men that gave their lives look down and smile at what you have done with the freedom they died for.? We call these men and women the greatest generation for the simple reason that me me me was not their first thought. When their country called on them they stood together and said we! We will not let them defeat us. We will stand and fight for the freedom that you now take for granted. Ask yourself would they be proud of you?
This gentleman represents the best America has ... We must remember their sacrifices and not allow people to divide us with culture wars, but to respect the differences that make us strong
@@la_sn3ak3r19 Democrats officially do not want to defund the police. A couple radicals in a small number of towns does not change that. That said, Democrats are the party who uphold the Constitution. Vote Blue!
There will be a day that the last WW2 vet will pass. Just as the last WW1 vets have. These living men are rare now. Listen to them. They have lived through this and every other thing up until now. They are the ones we learn from.
Happy Anniversary D-Day WWII USVeterans Worldwide 💪 Fantastic Speech USArmy Veteran John "Jack" Foy🇺🇸 WWII fought in General George Patton 🇺🇸 3Army at the Battle of the Bulge. Awsome video 💞 Honor and Respect from Norway 💖🌹🇳🇴🇺🇸🙏
My dad was in Europe during WW 2 and I wonder if this happen today how many young men and women would step up like they did. Honorable and great solders that were truly " The Greatest Generation ." I am not sure today's young men could do it.
I salute this humble and mighty gentleman and his comrades for all that they did in defending freedom. I am Australian and also salute our veterans and the fallen in their defence of our nation, outnumbered and outgunned, enduring horrific conditions and hardship against the Japanese army in New Guinea in 1943. The Australian Army. The first land army to defeat the Japanese in World War 2. They are our greatest generation. Thank you to your soldiers and ours for gifting us our lives of freedom.
My father was trained as a bomber pilot in 1944 and did not take part in d-day. Perhaps i am alive today because of it. How many young men had their lives cut short. This man here is truly from the”greatest generation”. We are a bunch of wimpy whiners today.. and that probably includes me.
This, friends, is why they are correctly called The Greatest Generation. The hardships of The Great Depression created a cohort of hardy men and women--many humble farm boys and girls--who courageously took on a cohort of Axis youth raised to battle and conquer, and prevailed. My grandfather, now passed, was one of them.
This man is in incredible shape for 98 years old. Thank you for your service
May have something to do with taking the Divine "daily bread" he spoke about?
They should keep looking for Cap under the ice! 😁

In 2023, WWII vets are a precious living memory of a time we can't comprehend.
It's our duty as historian's to pass this on as these men pass on
No apostrophe
Yes, children is schools should watch and listen to this man’s testimony, remembrances.

Both my grandpa's were combat vets of ww2 and are both gone now. Not many of these great heros left now. I have utmost respect and pride in these men
I came here to comment this exact thing 👍
Thank you sir. Thank you to the greatest generation

Had the extreme pleasure of meeting mr Foy at the 79th anniversary. Something I’ll never forget
The 79th anniversary was a great one and I’m going to Normandy next year
My grandfather was a medic in WW2 for 4 years. Bless all the allied forces!
19000 who passed away during the battle of the Ardennes were average casualties of a single day on the 1000 Km Eastern Front.
Respect to your grandfather

Freedom was paid with blood .Thank you.
That is the Christian moral script again and again in human history.
Except half of europe was given to russians which is far from freedom.
Thank you sir for your service 🇺🇸
I'm 72 and am in awe of this man.
The next time you whine or complain about ANYTHING, just consider what he did for us!
It must be interesting being 72 and feeling relatively young compared to this soldier haha

Thank you sir from a brit we will never forget your help
Amazing man. Brought me to tears.
Always Grateful Forever Thankful
Thank you Veterans for your service, every day of every year.
Thank you "Sir" and especially to those that gave"All"😢😢😢😢
Let us all unite in honoring these brave men, we owe them everything.
This is when soldiers used to fight for justice and humanity , nowadays we are fighting for resources, money, and greedy politicians who have no idea how to improve this world.
To be fair, wars have been fought over resources and money ever since humanity started. It’s not a new invention.
Russians were doing that back then and before.
We must never forget these men and what they did, it is important to relay their history to the next generations to come so these great moments in history are never forgotten.
I absolutely agree ❤🙌🏾
Many of them died neglected and forgotten in nursing homes
Sadly there will never again be a generation like The Greatest Generation.

This should shown in classrooms prior to Memorial Day
Outstanding speech he prepared.....
These incredible men, and the sacrifices. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for your service!

It's insulting at the very least
Yeah right. Veterans get worse treatment than the average no body.
Jack Foy, you and your fellow warriors exhibited heroic actions above and beyond what we in this time can imagine!
I, as a grateful American, deeply thank you for your service and sacrifice.
So glad you made it back.
Won’t be living memory much longer 😢
This man entered the war nineteen-year-old at the end of the day man
Major respect and thanks from Finland 🙏.
This is amazing. For 98 years old he is incredible! The Battle of the Bulge was a pivotal turning point in the war. Amazing that the US came through.
The war was already pretty much guaranteed won by the Soviets by the time the Americans even landed.
Thank you for your sacrifices. I salute you, sir.
This guy looks amazing for 98
