Don't let that generation be forgotten. Truly the greatest generation.

Whoever managed to keep they're head, and give orders during the storming of Normandy is a special kind of person, running into that warzone had to be absolutely horrifying

Even with the amount of research I've done on WW2, I still cannot fathom the sacrifice those boys made on those beaches. It makes me emotional to think about it

That was intense, even as a watcher this genuinly scared me, I can’t imagine the courage it took for these men to do that over 70 years ago, R.I.P

My great grandfather was a technical seargent during d-day he also fought in Sicily and Africa he helped organize the Nuremberg trials he got the bronze star for it. He died in 2005 two years before I was born he left us a booklet with his journal and photos. He was in the first infantry division. Big red one. His name was John Burman

The Sargeant that comes up just shows how different it is to have a LEADER by your side. Having a strong leader to follow can make all the difference.

For all the veterans, you have fought well
