CAF Life - BRCC Honors Normandy

[@TimkennedyMMA]

One of the most incredible weeks of my life.

[@BTheBear]

@TimKennedyMMA, I want to make sure you see this, but you looked so much like Jake McNiece once you had the paint on that my response was, that is epic. Additionally I'll be honest, your description at the beginning made me cry. I had thought about parts of it but hadn't made the 2nd or third order connections. It crushed me once they clicked. Thank all of you for this. Normandy remains on my places I shall go before I die list.

[@lyonsecfor]

I was already emotional when you were talking on the beach, but when you reenlisted and took the oath right there, it reminded me of watching my son take the oath and of taking it myself. Those are powerful and meaningful words and I am so glad to see you once again show the world what it means to be an American soldier. Congratulations and a non-ironic HOOAH!

[@chloehennessey6813]

Mr Kennedy, It would be so cool if one day you could stop by and watch our 3 Gun tournament.

[@grim7g989]

I can't wait for the day I have the opportunity to stand on the beaches of Normandy to give my thanks and prayers to our elders of the Greatest Generation 🙏. It would all be so surreal and without a doubt emotional taking in the water, sand and cliffs that our men fought through the torrential heavy and light machine gun fire and indirect fire of the Nazi pushing forward no matter what as it was the only option. God Bless the men & women of the Greatest Generation who sacrificed everything to bring freedom and safety to complete strangers while ensuring the defeat of fascism.

[@heritageturns]

Thank you for sharing your experience and reenlistment. Our young soldiers will continue to benefit from you. Thank you so much for your service and dedication to our country. Kudos.

[@zenon7094]

A German here...without the help of the Allies, Germany, maybe even Europe, would still be under the boots of the Nazis. The fact that I can live here in democracy and freedom today is thanks not least to the brave soldiers who landed in Normandy. I am very thankful for that. Cheers from Germany

[@JayDubb3BCT]

We stand on the shoulders of Giants. God Bless the Greatest Generation 🇺🇲

[@Paullenormand]

I was born and i live in Normandy. One lifetime will not be enough to pay tribute to those men who sacrifice their life for our freedom and peace. You are all welcome whenever you want. Thank you for your service. God bless you.

[@motor2of7]

Visited France and the beaches (twice) last year. The French people were wonderful.

[@fedupamerican6534]

Being an American it brings tears to my eyes when y’all talk about how much you appreciate the guys that ran head first into machine gun fire. Thank you for the love and appreciation you show towards those young men from 80 years ago.

[@Paullenormand]

@@fedupamerican6534 It is our duty to keep their memory alive and we are very proud to do it every year. It is also really important for us to teach it to young generations so that we never forget what happened. 🤝

[@Paullenormand]

@@motor2of7 Thank you very much.

[@fedupamerican6534]

@@Paullenormand 🤝 🇺🇸🇫🇷 We refer to all those men and women as the greatest generation ever atleast over in the states.I can’t speak about y’all. Because of what they did for all of us.

[@dutchman7216]

That must have been an absolute privilege. Thank you, Black Rifle for doing that.

[@israelramos7983]

My father became good friends with a man who was part of the invasion. I had the honor of talking to him. He told me as he hit the water and headed up the beach, his comrades were getting hit all around him. When he got to the “safe” spot, he checked himself and couldn’t believe he wasn’t hit at all. He said, “God was watching over me that day.” I can’t begin to express the emotions I felt watching this and remembering his story. Thank you for the reminder. “Freedom truly isn’t free…”

[@WolfoftheWoods02]

We all stand on the edge of living history for WW2 right now ! Those men and women who lived through it, served in it are slipping away from us. It remains our duty to them to hear their stories, remember what they did and what the fallen sacrificed for us to be free today. Well done to BRCC for honouring them.

[@RobertReed-xg9pv]

Words fail to express the gratitude I have for the patriotism portrayed in this video. I truly adore my country and wish we did a better job of celebrating it. 🇺🇸

[@ericsullivan7190]

Listen, France. We may give you shit, but thanks for remembering our boys. We really do love you.

[@TnerB91]

They came in clutch for us in 1778 , we returned the favor 166 years later.

[@dylanzenskateboarding]

Thank you for showing what America and American hearts really are. it was an honored to watch this program 🇺🇸 thesemen and all their actions and who they chose to be is thee inspiration. we stand on the shoulders of giants true hearted heroes

[@richardcates1108]

I have no words ...other than a very sincere THANKS to all the men and women to have served and still serving! Your service will never be forgotten or taken for granted! Thanks BRCC for all of your service!

[@yarg619]

I, remember visiting there when I, was stationed in Germany, you truly can fill a difference when you walk those streets and see in person where those that came before us all, and defended a people and places against an evil of that level, and defeat it

[@mattsimonds5901]

Kitzigen 95-97. Awesome!

[@gooseslayer2463]

This is the most patriotic video ever

[@ai-baking-f1]

My wife and I visited the beaches and towns of Normandy for the 75th anniversary. So humbling and such incredible bravery. Thank you Evan and BRCC for all that you do.

[@Steveothegreat1]

Absolutely amazing display of honor and respect. Awesome job brcc

[@jarradberkihiser4827]

Great job BRCC, thank you for doing this!

[@reginahernandez7810]

😢 SORRY TO HEAR THAT. IM REALLY SURPRISED AT ALL THE COMMENTS. ALLOT OF PEOPLE IN THESE COMMENTS HAD SOME KIBD OF FAMILY MEMBER WHO SERVED IN WW2

[@relhcse]

It's one hell of an experience standing on that beach by the water at dawn looking up and thinking about what those brave souls had to endure. Very humbling and stoic.

[@thecombatengineer7069]

🫡 Epic. Ending with Tim doing his re-enlistment was rad!

[@stevengrumley-uo8je]

Thank You. 🇺🇸❤️

[@robink2563]

God bless my uncles who fought in WW2 one 82 airborne, one in the navy and another who flew the P38 Lightning who was shot down and died over Berlin. Also, my Mom's Dad, who served in the Army.

[@reginahernandez7810]

AWW! HOW LUCKY YOU GET TO SAY YOUR FAMILY WERE INVOLVED. I BET YOUR SO PROUD. IF THEY ARE ALICE COYLD U GIVE THEM A HUG FOR ME? IT IS SO SAD THAT THE PROPLE IN FRANCE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DAY AND AMERICANS DONT. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES...

[@chris7570]

Amazing opportunity we will never forget and we will never stop honoring the greatest generation.

[@erickaesman4001]

That, hands down, was the best video I have seen. You captured the essence of being on that hallowed ground.

[@alexandrakittler9394]

Thank you for honoring the friends of my 2nd great uncle he survived omaha beach and the battle of the bulge

[@matthewhouse5245]

Thank god for those men and wemen people today don’t realize how good they have it because of those brave men and women

[@lyonsecfor]

JT kinda reminds me of Tom Sizemore in Saving Private Ryan. I got a real chuckle from that. My father passed two years ago on June 7, D-Day +1. Along with being a vet, he was a history buff and passed that along to me. WWII was his focus. I serve because of his influence. Tim is a real softee when it comes to patriotism and I'm right there with him. Great job on the video. I'm on my second viewing of it now.

[@mattsimonds5901]

I also wish we back home in the Greatest Country in the world would support our veterans and active military! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do!

[@beef81248]

I was not ready emotionally at the start of this. When the first thing I see is Tim losing it on the beach (I instantly was crying) I had to stop and prepare.

[@04AirForceRam]

I know its a small thing, but seeing the veteran at 24:00 signing the helmet made me tear up seeing Bud Haedike's name knowing I visited him a week after he would have signed it, and remembering that his funeral was less than two months ago...

Well said, MEN--- you did a GREAT job articulating what we were all feeling on so many levels as we jumped in with RCPT-USA!! And you are right---that was the best 4th of July I've ever experienced and it wasn't CONUS or in JULY!!! AATW DOL

[@thebigweasle]

Glad you guys could do that jump into Normandy! FYI your “soft grass “ is a wheat field.

Very Cool for taking us there. I jumped Holland for the 51st from Vicenza , we/they were 1/508 then.. All the Way!

Would love to some you guys come to Branson Mo for the Veterans Parade Nov 11. An awesome parade in the US! Been doing a float for 12 years here. Got four generations of dog tags. All Army. Also Vietnamese - American! Love this country!

[@mr.tall-man1573]

Repost? Thanks again!

[@storytimedavidcollins2897]

Thanks for this I really appreciate what all of these guys went through and all of the veterans that I knew from the Spanish American War to Vietnam never really spoke about anything to do with their military experience unless they something happened to have them just tell us a little bit of something that related to something that was happening right then. We didn’t have any real support for or combat veterans from those eras other than to drink it away, so we missed out on a lot of history through there experiences that they never really spoke about. All of the current generations of kids need to know about the sacrifices that others made to protect their freedoms. I really truly appreciate you guys sharing this information with all of us and as always I have to give thanks to all of our veterans and especially to Mat Best, Rocco Vargas, Justen Taylor, Heather Lynn and everyone who made Article 15 Clothing into what it was so that with Evans enthusiasm that it could become Black Rifle Coffee Company and be able to afford to make these excellent videos to get the stories of veterans out there. Thanks to everyone with BRCC and their supporters.

[@robertkearney5654]

Good work boys! One of my favorite BRCC vids!!! Man...just...I've got three woke daughters...can't tell you how much it means to me to see the patriotism. Love you guys...

[@mshafer2006]

This brought tears to my eyes. Hard to believe that "The greatest generation" did this for one and two how unpatriotic most citizens are nowadays. Love this video and the pervious generations did for us. My father is a Vietnam Vet and my Grandfather served in WWII,Korea and Vietnam both served in the Army Air Corps and USAF respectively. I so wish kids and adults were taught this history here in the United States.

Thanks for reposting. I often wonder if my 6 relatives (Army, Airforce, Navy, Black Watch and Provost) look down to me proud of who I am. I often have sat in the mess of 2RNBR C coy north shore staring at the battle honours. Wondering what it must have been like. I look up on my hardest days when I feel defeated for the feeling to be embarrassed by those great men so to shame myself so I can push through. What would they have done to win. Buaidh No Bas (Victory or Death) Luceo Non Uro (I shine not burn). Thanks again guys, that must have been quite the trip.

Man R.I.P TO All The StormTroopers Who Went There That Day

[@Iliketochopwood]

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." This statement was written in in a document that was ratified 4 July 1776. On June 6 1944 the world saw first hand why it was in our founding document and what we were willing to do as a country. Though the greatest generation is all but gone there is still the greatest of all generations who have signed up and continue to sign up to fight for freedom. It has been almost 20 years since I was in Iraq I saw first hand that we didn't need all of my generation to fight but the best of my generation was goddamn impressive. CURAHEE

[@alseb931]

They fought in "The War to End All Wars". Remembering their sacrifice so that such conflicts are never repeated ever again. Are our world governments honouring their sacrifice? When the world governments seek a great war, may the global people seek a great revolution. "Lest we forget".

[@Bellicose0311]

Yet in America, nobody knows what June 6 is. We are more concerned with pop culture instead of remembering the men who gave everything to keep our country and the world free.

[@idontlikecaps8823]

You guys have all seen the elephant as have I so you know what it is like. My father made the first European amphibious landing on November 8, 1942 and 4 more after that. He and I were watching a documentary on Operation Torch and the narrator said the opposition was light and he said it was only light if you weren't there. It was the same story at Sicily, Salerno, Anzio and southern France.

[@1murder99]

@@reginahernandez7810 My point is that the guys that made this video have saddled up and moved forward no matter what the incoming volume of fire is. It is what the American soldier does. The guys I worked with in Vietnam did the same thing and we have ever since this country was founded.
