Where Heroes Walked, I Pledge Again: My Normandy Re-Enlistment Experience

Join me as I honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day in an unforgettable way-by re-enlisting in the U.S. Army at the hallowed grounds of Normandy. In this heartfelt video, I’m accompanied by the founders of Black Rifle Coffee and other distinguished veterans to revisit the sands where the Greatest Generation fought bravely for freedom. Witness this profound moment of dedication as I renew my oath in the presence of Army leadership, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice that define our nation's history.

Standing on the hallowed grounds of Normandy, where brave souls once fought for our freedom, reminds us of the incredible power of courage and sacrifice. Let's carry forward their legacy by dedicating ourselves to service and valor in our own lives.

Respect for the symbolism. But you flip flop too much. Don't see how someone who re ups on Omaha Beach where we began whoopin Nazi ass, would be in favor of Nazi like Gun Control. Seems a bit off. But just my observation

I think what BRCC just done to honor the Greatest Generation and remember on the 80th anniversary of D Day was amazing and couldn't have been done better. Thank you to all from BRCC and friends for your service to our Nation and continued dedication and patriotism.

[@TimkennedyMMA]

Well said!

[@Slidebite1775]

Very cool, I was able to re-enlist on the Bridge on the River Kwai during Cobra Gold in 2001. You will never forget that moment. Your re-enlistment will be remembered by younger soldiers and the story will be told to the next generation of soldiers.

[@Nicobs2k6]

As Norman born in the Juno sector, let me tell you: Normandy remembers and always will!!

[@gbergma1]

Let's go! Got out in 2008, and went back to MEPS yesterday. The Decision had nothing to do with this video, but the reasoning is the same. Ready to serve as long as I'm useful. I turn 45 in September.

[@USNveteran]

Wow Congratulations Tim what a place & time to reenlist. We had two members of our family that were part of that "Greatest Generation". My father in law joined the Navy on 12/8/41 he was 16. By early 1942 he was serving as a torpedo man in the destroyer escort fleet doing convoy duty in the North Atlantic. He made 37 trips through the canal seeing Naval combat in both the Atlantic & Pacific theaters. My brothers father in law was a Marine and was on Tarawa & Saipan, and I feel truly fortunate to have heard some of their stories first hand, we miss you Brownie & Norm. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!

[@erokbrewmeister9231]

Love this video so much, I am in tears. Thanks to all of you who participated. Thank you all for your service !

[@anthonychiaramonte5135]

What an honor! Good Shit Tim. I am stoked to see a soldier, leader and man like Tim Kennedy stay in our ranks! Its also great to see the Army take pride in holding onto him. I wish they cared that much about holding onto so many other good soldiers.

[@TimkennedyMMA]

Best job in the world. Lucky to be here.

[@Robert-xy6mt]

What an absolutely beautiful moment! Congratulations and God bless you Tim! I was there in 2016 while attached to Unit2 out of Stuttgart and had THE most profound experience of my life at Normandy. I can't express enough how proud and thankful I am of that amazing generation. They epitomize Honor, Commitment, Courage, and LOVE like no other. I can't fully explain why but I cried like I've never cried before or since while there. I think it had something to do with the energies that surround. I felt so much sadness, so much anger and yet so much love and peace. Like I said, very hard to explain. It also brought my military service into a perspective I never understood before. A very clear, motivating and humble perspective. If I had one wish it would be for every military member to spend a week there in uniform like we did. Cause If you open your mind and heart you just might hear or feel the calls of our brothers and the families who lived and died there to LEARN from this event that took so much from us in so many ways. Again, God bless you Tim, and ALL our brothers and sisters who hear and feel the call. Hoo-Yah! WWG1WGA!

Nice one mate, the first time I stood on that battlefield was when I was a Infantry instructor at ITC 🇬🇧when we took our Platoon, just standing on the cold wet sand leading up to Golds objective then heading down to Omaha that’s when it hit all of us. Like you I’ve seen my time in the sandbox, but it will never be like what my Grandad fought in North Africa with the British Artillery and certainly not what those young lads endured hitting the beaches. 31yrs now and I’m still serving my King, mate well done you for re enlisted SFSH🇺🇸🇬🇧🫡

When I think of the American dream, I think Tim Kennedy. In my opinion he represents what it means to be an American. Tim was a self described fuck up as a youth. He decided to make some changes and became the most humble badass. Fighting in the ufc while still being active military and then going on to hunt Hitler is incredible. Not to mention all of the good he's done since he quit fighting and killing bad guys professionally. Tim, you're the man, fuck that Cuban guy and his stool.
