June 6, 2019 marks the 75-year anniversary of the Normandy Invasion (D-Day). The soldiers were mostly young but they were brave. It was the D-Day battle that turned these boys into men, overnight. Let's join in remembering these courageous fallen heroes of Normandy. What we have today, we owe to them.

The following is our way of paying tribute to these brave heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM. The video is in HD and 4 1/2 minutes long. Except for the documentary ones, photos were from our visit to this sacred place in August 2015. It is a sad but also an uplifting event in mankind's quest for freedom. Made me kinda teary while I was making the video. I think the accompanying music is superbly appropriate. Hope you like it. Thanks for watching.

Well done but the event is sad. I wonder if this is ever shown in high schools today? Probably not as there is some group that will protest. My cousin died in the pacific theater. My Uncle made it home.

Thank you so very much for this video. I was born in 1946 and well remember my parents, aunts and uncles talking about high school classmates that had been killed at Normandy, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Okinawa and so on. Their loss, America's loss, became the loss for my brothers and I. It was never something that was dwelled upon but was in the background of our lives. Of course war movies brought it home as well. We were brought up to have a remembrance of these warriors who fought and died for our freedom. As the years passed my brothers and I also joined the military. Giving back to a country that had given us so much was expected. An older brother joined the Army and became an instructor. My twin brother and I joined the Marine Corps and served as door gunners in Vietnam. Honestly, we could not wait to get to Vietnam. We had to see what combat was all about. We found out in short order, exactly what it was all about. But it also let us join the ranks of those who have put their lives on the line for America, to know somewhat the feelings of those who had gone on before us.

Your video brought back some of my experiences as well as those of my parents friends, in a small way. I know nothing can ever compare with those on that lonely beach head on D Day. These men who died for us in battle are truly heroes in every way. To use an oft repeated line, they gave up their tomorrows so we could have today. I thank them.

I remember the day well. As a young boy I returned from school and with my mother we listened to the news on the radio as we did each evening. There was only my mother and I as my father was serving in the RAF.
After hearing about the D-day landings my mother turned to me and said “This is a day you must never forget.” And I never have.

Thank you. They are the true Heroes. Let's not forget them. On June 6, D-Day, let's pause for a silent moment/prayer for the Heroes of Normandy.
