  1. Wow thats miraculous. My grandfather was also in France, but on the German/Austrian side. Luckily he survived wounded.
    All the best and long live those US heros who defended Europe from Nazism.

  2. US-China war over Taiwan could escalate quickly to nuclear

    I have bought $SKYH (Sky Harbour)

  3. Once upon a time, Americans fought and died to defeat fascism. Now, they're supporting it.

  4. Majority of the troops and equipment/resources on D-Day were actually British Commonwealth.
    Just saying. 😉

  5. And now this year 2022 Germany is ranked 15th in the world for its government- defined as a Full Democracy. Japan is ranked 17th- a Full Democracy. The USA is ranked 26th in the world- defined as a Flawed Democracy. What a disgrace to these brave men and our Nation . Many who sacrificed their lives

  6. I had 3 great uncles from the poorest parts of Kentucky that enlisted and by Gods graces somehow all survived Normandy. They wanted to serve their country and see something other than Kentucky. They had no idea the the horror they would bring home with them. Cecil, Cooge, and Curt would never talk about it and were never the same.

  7. Remember the Greatest Generation! We will never forget their sacrifice for what they had done.

  8. They would be appalled at the forces trying to take down America today including this station

  9. God bless you all. ❤️❤️❤️

  10. Imagine refering to what you did on D-Day as "Just another job."

    That generation was built different.

  11. greatest generation to ever live

  12. Trump would of said" I only like war heroes that weren't killed"

  13. It's almost impossible to fathem what their generation did for us today,Look at what we became,and how their courage and love for this country will inspire young people in this Great Country for Generations moving forward to live out your dreams and to know,That men and women died and WILL die,so you have this opportunity to do so,God Bless This Land

  14. Grandpa who served in ww2 just died today, rip you absolute chad.

  15. This sacrifice made it possible for me to be alive and living in America today.

  16. God Bless these vets and all that served on D-Day storming the beach and changed the tide of the war I wish yall many many many more years or peace

  17. He did it for you people don't skrew it up… So very true… With the war in Ukraine I often think of 1945..the closing day's of the war. How the situation in Ukraine could so easily be opened into ww3. And all that horror return to the world.. Eisenhower once said peace can't come from brutality…on diplomacy we are forgetting about that… Kissenger tried to remind us about that the other week.. it's time for talks and peace ✌️🕊️

  18. Thank you for fighting for our freedoms, DDay veterans!!!

  19. The OG Antifa, the world was saved by their sacrifice
    I hope we are as strong and never let the fascist return to power and control this country.

  20. GERMAN ROYAL FAMILY: AMERICA SAYS NO TO COSTCO U.S. Soldiers Guarding fights at Costco in San Diego, California USA.

"World of Religion & Monarchy will at all given times protect any Family by grace of Earth and Sea!" ― יהוה "Ken" Jehovah the Messiah of Israel (God of Gods and King of Kings)

  21. America is not noticing at all.

  22. That veteran said it right, "Don't screw it up". Because they paid too a heavy cost for us to go and ruin it and do stupid stuff.

  23. Thank God good prevail over evil

  24. i hope hitler is getting the pick fork in his rear end tomorrow and always

  28. A salute to all that most will never know the extent what they sacrificed.

  29. He met my Uncle Dobie from the army service years ago

  33. We must never forget their brave deeds and the sacrifices made by the men who fought on the beaches of Normandy and beyond. God bless them and raise up a generation of young patriots who will fight against tyranny and evil in our day.
