Thank you Larry my welding instructor was there he wrote a book he gave me

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Kenneth. This is why we have our freedoms today. Would like to see your book.

[@realvanshouse]

It’s D-Day 😢 I have listened to so many of your interviews, and will keep going. Thank you brother.

[@VoicesofHistory]

I appreciate that. Today is very special to me and very somber. 21 years ago I was on Omaha Beach at this very hour. Lest They Be Forgotten!!

[@edwardh1591]

Great documentary Larry!❤

Carl, the first love of my work. Yesterday was an amazing day and a somber day for me. Thank you for your support of my work my friend. God bless you!!

[@grahamashley4498]

Thank you Larry. Both of my Grand fathers were involved on both land and sea during overlord. My son, who has special needs watches you amazing interviews with me. Today,he has returned from school after surprising his tutors with his knowledge and understanding on this historical event. Sadly he didn’t get to meet his great grand fathers but am sure they will be looking down with a prideful tear, as look up and say thank you.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Many thanks Graham!!

[@stevenrafters7817]

Thanks Larry may we never forget. The young people today don't know about D day. Your stories hopefully will educate some. Thank you

[@stevenrafters7817]

And God bless my old friend Cap Bates

[@VoicesofHistory]

Caps is the best!!

[@glockerbob]

That was so moving. My father was on a gunship. He was Navy and didn’t get the test these brave men did, but he did his part and I asked him many times what it was like. But he never talked to anyone about it. Thats why I so love what you do. Thank you Larry. God bless.

[@VoicesofHistory]

So good to have you here today Bob. Lest They Be Forgotten!!

[@pappy017]

Thank you Larry for putting out this video. Thank the Most Holy God for these soldiers that gave their life for the Country and for me.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Amen brother John, amen. The first love of my work, my first film documentary 21 years ago. ❤️

[@charlesmullins3238]

I’m tryin to put myself in there shoes this evening on the brink of go time and all I feel is gratitude and pride. These are the men I live my life for everyday…if I could go back I would not let any one of ‘em down until they got me…can never express my feelings they are so great Larry…there’s a place for us my friend and I can’t wait to meet up with em all..🙏🏻matt

[@VoicesofHistory]

One of my best comments, ever Charles. Thank you thank you. I'm appreciative of you and your thoughts this day. Very somber day for me. There will be a great reunion in Heaven for all these warriors and I hope to be there with them.

[@charlesmullins3238]

@@VoicesofHistory amen brother…my grandfather on dads side was an old regular preacher I never got to meet.

[@johnbelus7828]

As always Larry you did a fantastic job. I don't know how you do it, staying so calm. I shed tears every interview that you do with these brave heros who served our country. The sacrifices that they gave and the ones who sacrificed all are an inspiration to me and many other americans. Some don't even care and that makes me sick.

[@VoicesofHistory]

John, such a great comment. Thank you for watching my first film that I produced 21 years ago. As I said most of these men are gone now. With tears I watched World War II Veterans still alive in France today being awarded the French medal for their service 80 years ago. Lest They Be Forgotten!!

[@frankclark717]

Thank you Larry these men left England knowing some of them were not coming home they loved America and would die for us to keep us free

[@VoicesofHistory]

Frank, this is the heart and soul of my work and why we have our freedoms today. I hope people will stop to remember. God bless you!!

[@darrenwelsman2851]

Thanks again Larry for such a sincere, powerful and sometimes painful and emotional presentation. My Dad who passed away last year, served his Country of UK and I see his face and hear his voice in these soldiers and sailors. I'm so thankful for all who have served, died, survived and also for those who may face it in the future. Gentleman, Sirs, you have my respect and my eternal gratitude.

[@josephanderson7237]

Thank you Larry. Very sobering.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you JOSEPH. My first film and probably one of my best. Such haunting memories from all these Veterans telling me their stories for the first time. I miss all of them.

[@Stax-ht9md]

True Larry, you cannot watch this without asking: Could I do what these heroes have done? Ultimately I don't know, but I know if I there surrounded by men like this I would stand a much better chance of moving forward.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Chet, you've got it. My fascination with the mindset of being 18 and 19 years old, landing on a beach under enemy fire. Could I have done it?

[@theduke168]

Sheeew. That was a Tough one, thank you all, for a life long sacrifice, and thank you Larry. 🇺🇸🥹

[@johnwilbanks3885]

Larry, your documentation in priceless! Teared me up when one of the vets said that he flew the flag every day, just like my Filipino USN Pacific theater Grand Father. My Grandpa was so fiercely patriotic he never ever complained (or mentioned) his “Steward Class” while fighting in WW2. Fiercely AMERICAN DAMNMIT🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good job.

Thank you Allen.

Thank you Allen!!

@@VoicesofHistory My Dad was a Seabee in the Pacific, Guadalcanal, etc. Appreciate your videos.

[@johnniek9452]

Larry, well done. Your research, content and delivery truly honored the sacrifice of these warriors. You captured their agony, sorrows and memories to stand as a legacy testimony on what freedom costs and the sacrifice given so that we can all be free. Thanks for your passion and great editing as well.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Brother John. Always so wonderful to hear from you. I appreciate your kind words about my work.

[@SteveGrabher]

Excellent Larry

[@VoicesofHistory]

YEAH brother Steve. The first love of my work. This is my first film which I produced 21 years ago. 21 years ago I was in France for the first time. The beaches of Normandy are holy ground!! Such memories from this first documentary feature. God bless you my friend!!

[@fretworkpeddler]

Excellent video! God bless you, Larry.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Glad you enjoyed it David. This was my first documentary 21 years ago. One of my best!! I've got to ask if you work on guitars or acoustic instruments?

[@fretworkpeddler]

@@VoicesofHistory I play the banjo, but I don't work on any instruments.

[@charlesbosse9669]

Larry Mieier,wr didnt firget about you and your friends and all who were there. Its a serious problem when our society forgets what these men did. Its a tragedy,if these men are not honored. I want you all to know,that you are all my heroes. I know those of you who were blessed enough to mske ut home dont feel like you are,but for someone like myself,who has never experienced anything like war,you are my heroes,and God bless you all.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Such a great comment my friend. Thank you for sharing it. Yesterday was a special day for me. Larry Meier is still with us in Arizona. Almost 101 now. If you want write him an email or letter please reach out to me and I will send it to him. You can reach me through my website: larrycappetto.com

@VoicesofHistory Thank you Larry,I would like that. You are one of my favorite celebrities,Larry. All of tge work you do is so important,and meaningful to many. God bless you.

[@allencollins6031]

Larry, can you tell me the musical piece with woman singing around 40 minutes in?

[@VoicesofHistory]

Allen, that is an arrangment I came up with to "Ave Maria!!" A gal from my church back then sang for me. Great voice!!

If we had it to do over, what would we do differently. I'd like to know if anyone ever recorded the answer to this question.

[@specag31]

I worked with a guy whose dad landed with the 29th. They watched "Saving Private Ryan." His dad said "Well, thats the closest a movie has come to the horror, but it wasn't even close." 🇺🇸🫡❤️

[@VoicesofHistory]

I agree. They cross the beach in 20 minutes in the movie. A somewhat good depiction but nothing like the real thing as you say and as my Veterans have voiced. Lest They Be Forgotten!!
