That was 80 years ago, and this memory is as fresh as if it just happened today. Wars may end, but they're relived by the survivors a thousand times.

The fact that vets don't get enough for their service is crazy. That story is so chilling

[peterwardle]

And some people thinks tears are weakness. Really? What an amazing guy you are sir.

[CasualSharts]

The death stares while recalling an absolutely traumatizing memory is what gets me every time. These people see these moments as clear as day every time they have a bad day and close their eyes...

I fulfilled a lifelong dream of visiting Omaha several years ago. I've had an interest in D-Day my entire life but only when I was actually there did I feel the full weight of what those men went through. Standing at the shoreline and looking up at the bluffs, it is incredible to me that anyone survived at all. They were brave beyond all measure.

Useful as history class may be, learning history from a veteran is one of the greatest privileges anyone can have. Thank you sir for your service.

My Grandpa Dan Callahan was the only one in his group on D-Day that survived.
He never mentally got over that horrible Day. He could never get what he saw and experience out of his mind. He was a wonderful sweet man, and a sweet loving Grandpa to me.
Thank you Sir for sharing. ❤️🇺🇲
Thank you for your service.

Boston accent no matter the generation is such a constant it gives me comfort. I hope this veteran finds comfort.

Thank you sir for your service. We wouldn't be here without you.

[gabesyt]

"it hit him, cut his arm off and destroyed the damn radio" you can hear how the anger and frustration from that moment came back to him as he says that. and hes lived with that all his life. respect to this man

[amykreilly]

The war is never over for those who fought on the front lines. Veterans are not left scarred, they are left with wounds that never heal.

[Uglier.]

He’s endured horrors the average man can’t even imagine. Thank you all, vets 🫡🫡

[DC]

Thank you for your sacrifice, sir. Yours is truly the greatest generation.

29th Infantry Division, Omaha Beach, D-day. My uncle was with the Blue and Grey Division on D-day. Survived D-day but was KIA, 10 August 1944. RIP 💜✝️🙏

[MaryBethKissel]

He still feels so much pain about watching that young boy die....emotional battle scars 💔 last much longer than physical injuries. Bless you, brave warrior!
