Amazing my uncle Given was in the 29th Infantry Division and landed there, He was 19, He fought all the way through the war and as he said I walked and fought in Europe, He won the Silver Star in The Hurgten Forest in November of 1944. He fought in The Battle of The Bulge and survived the war. He graduated number ONE from MIT as and engineer married his love Aunt Beverly and had three amazing children. His major accomplishmenys were global. He was the senior engineer for the Space Shuttle Suits for the Austronats and lived a wondergul life. He passed away in 1998 and was my fathers best friend {11th Airborne 1953 1955} and I just thought someone should know. Thank you very much for your videos.

What a wonderful story, Mikey! Your uncle was a wonderful gent and a fantastic citizen. I had a good friend who jumped into D-Day. When he jumped out of the C-47 his tommy gun whipped around and knocked out his front teeth! Forever after known as "Smiley". He was an extremely successful engineer and became a very wealthy man, but he loved talking with me about our Army experiences.....I was a Vietnam era guy and a grunt too.

I have walked this beach twice. As a former soldier, I am amazed at the bravery of our soldiers given the interlocking fires and understand how the carnage unfolded. My dad crossed this beach D+30, his first memory was the temporary cemetery and what he described as an endless line of ambulances dropping off the dead. Graves were being dug 24x7, at night they used lights and would only turn them off if an air raid alarm went off. Freedom is not free and we must never forget this.

Great video, thanks! I was there in 1994 as part of a Honor Platoon out of Hastings, Nebraska. I was selected to go, two weeks, for the 50th Celebration because I had a great uncle who took part in the Battle of St. Lo. We would do parades and ceremonies in the morning and then tour the towns for the rest of the day. Spent a day at Omaha Beach. I called my grandfather who served in the war, England, from a pay phone on the beach near the restaurant on the hill. I let him know I was there for him and his brothers. I promised myself that day I would go back for the 100th Celebration. Greatest Generation!!!

We were lucky enough to plan a return visit this year, and stayed at the Omaha Beach Hotel, near Port en Bessin. We had a great time there but we tried to fit in too much, visiting the famous places, and many of the museums. For our second week we then travelled to Bastogne, Belgium. We completely loved our time there, and now we are totally hooked, I think we will go back many more times, and next time we will be able to use your videos to help. Thanks again

Allow yourself plenty of time. You cannot see all of Normandy in one day.

My grandfather fought in this war and survived! We still have a few of his guns today! Thanks to the people who sadly lost their lives fighting tooth and nail for us❤️

Very interesting video that allows to go back in history where some places are still almost identical! I am always so moved when I see the few rare images that we have of the Normandy landing and these soldiers who touch the French soil and fall under the German bullets, it makes me infinitely sad for these soldiers and their families that they came from so far for some and to die in France! A big thank you from a Frenchman for all these soldiers who came to liberate France and the world from Nazism.
