      An amazing representative of The Greatest Generation. I am so glad that Mr. Kiniry will have this opportunity to return to that hallowed ground. Thanks to all who have provided the means to do so, and to the fine reportage in this broadcast. It tickled me to see him driving a well-maintained 'brick-nose' Ford F150, circa 1987-1991. He likely bought it new, as I did mine in 1990, and which I, too, still drive.

    My grandpa was awarded a silver star and we never knew until his death, we still don’t know how what he did.

    I’m French and I visited the D-Day beaches. It’s a place everyone should go to in order to fully understand what happened. There is a lot to see and do, it’s great for kids too.
    Very nice video.

    I really wish we could clone these guys and keep them with us forever...but that's not how the universe works, sadly.
