    That was so moving. My father was on a gunship. He was Navy and didn’t get the test these brave men did, but he did his part and I asked him many times what it was like. But he never talked to anyone about it. Thats why I so love what you do. Thank you Larry. God bless.

    Thank you Larry. Both of my Grand fathers were involved on both land and sea during overlord. My son, who has special needs watches you amazing interviews with me. Today,he has returned from school after surprising his tutors with his knowledge and understanding on this historical event. Sadly he didn’t get to meet his great grand fathers but am sure they will be looking down with a prideful tear, as look up and say thank you.

    Thanks again Larry for such a sincere, powerful and sometimes painful and emotional presentation. My Dad who passed away last year, served his Country of UK and I see his face and hear his voice in these soldiers and sailors. I'm so thankful for all who have served, died, survived and also for those who may face it in the future. Gentleman, Sirs, you have my respect and my eternal gratitude.

    As always Larry you did a fantastic job.
    I don't know how you do it, staying so calm. I shed tears every interview that you do with these brave heros who served our country. The sacrifices that they gave and the ones who sacrificed all are an inspiration to me and many other americans. Some don't even care and that makes me sick.

    Larry, your documentation in priceless! Teared me up when one of the vets said that he flew the flag every day, just like my Filipino USN Pacific theater Grand Father. My Grandpa was so fiercely patriotic he never ever complained (or mentioned) his “Steward Class” while fighting in WW2. Fiercely AMERICAN DAMNMIT🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Larry, well done. Your research, content and delivery truly honored the sacrifice of these warriors. You captured their agony, sorrows and memories to stand as a legacy testimony on what freedom costs and the sacrifice given so that we can all be free. Thanks for your passion and great editing as well.

I want you all to know,that you are all my heroes. I know those of you who were blessed enough to mske ut home dont feel like you are,but for someone like myself,who has never experienced anything like war,you are my heroes,and God bless you all.
