Omaha Beach! Then and Now! #ww2 #history #thenandnow #beforeandafter #worldwar #beach #dday

My dad stormed omaha beach at the dog white sector early in the morning with the 147th combat engineers, 6th engineers special brigade. He was in the LCI (L) US 91. It struck an underwater mine as it neared the beach. After Normandy he went to fight in the battle of the bulge. He passed in 2013 at 90 yrs. Damn I miss him & my mom. Amazing people.

You need to keep posting videos like this. We must never forget those who fought for us

My great-grandfather stormed Omaha beach and was in one of the first boats there. He was in the 1st Infantry Divison (Big Red One) and went all over Europe (Italy, Normandy, France and even arrived at Berlin) and even Africa. After the war, he served for MP until 1947, when he came home. He lived a quiet life in PA, and never talked about the war until he was about to die. Charles Waldron, your my hero. 🫡

I still am shook to the core when I learned more in depth what these men sacrificed, imagine they send you on a mission and tell you, there is a 98% chance of mortality and you came back... boy an Angel was on your shoulder because there is no way anyone should've survived the odds were so greatly against us and we prevailed which shows that they were indeed the greatest generation to ever live.

Omaha beach was a suicide mission. And what’s more the boys knew about it. As soon as the doors of the ship dropped most were slaughtered right away. I am still shaken to the bottom of my soul about these beaches. I salute them respect and thank you to each one of them

My grandpa was one of the soldiers that stormed omaha beach. He’s alive and healthy and now a great-grandfather. He’s a hero.
