God bless your soul. Thank you

[@ypaulbrown]

always wonderful Larry, we owe so much to these men and women.....and all that came before them and after them.......Amen....

[@VoicesofHistory]

We owe a debt Paul we cannot ever repay. As the lyrics in my song so aptly say: "Don't Dishonor me, by losing your Liberties." One of the best and most noble things we can do for our Veterans and our country today is to not let go of our liberties/freedoms and to fight for them!!

[@chrisjanzen6082]

Thank you, Curtis and Larry. Great story.

[@robertroth287]

Another great story well told.

[@ypaulbrown]

Larry, you are able to get so much interesting information from these interviews......thank you so much.....

[@VoicesofHistory]

Paul I was thrilled to go back into my archives and retrieve this story. It is one of my all time favorite D-Day stories. I hope Curtis and the others are looking down from Heaven and smiling at us as we learn more about their sacrifices for us.

WOW this has to be one of my top 3 favorite interviews. Thank you sir for your service. Thank you Larry for sharing this one and thank you Brandon for sponsoring another amazing interview.

[@VoicesofHistory]

So cool of you to say so. This is one of my all time favorite stories. Curtis was a gem. They don't make them like him anymore.

Great interview brave man

[@VoicesofHistory]

Curtis was one of my most favorite WWII Veterans. I miss them all dearly.

[@chrishensley6745]

Thank God for men like him on this special day......or we all would be talking German today. Those Higgins boats were like the Huey,s were in Nam. I could not imagine at that age..or any age what them guys went through that made it alive. I Love America and God!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Yes, Chris, my exacts thoughts and words. I became fascinated with the Higgins boats 20 years ago and the Huey helicopters in Vietnam.

[@phillamoore157]

WOW….this is the first time I’ve heard about the Germans potentially lighting the sea on fire. Larry, you’re probably bored of me saying it, but your interviews never cease to amaze. After 30yrs of studying this period in history, here I am learning something new.

[@VoicesofHistory]

NEVER bored, Phil. I learn more everyday from my Veterans. I am glad I decided to share Curtis Hansen's story today. I have many more WWII stories like his in my archives.

[@TheGainfather]

We won't forget those DDay veterans or the memories of all those who served in WW2. Truly the greatest generation! 🙏

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for watching and commenting: "LEST THEY BE FORGOTTEN!!"

[@glockerbob]

Incredible story. I have never heard anything like this. What a brave man. I salute you sir.

[@wetblanket1977]

That was amazing, D Day is so important to American and world history. The Greatest generation is sorely missed. Another great interview Larry!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Blessing my friend. God bless you!!

[@raybeavers3123]

Even though you have gone on to be with our Great Master, I want to personally “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY!” I Salute You Sir! 🫡🫡🫡🫡👏👍🙏🥇🛥️⚓️🗽🤗🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹

[@glockerbob]

This is the first account I’ve ever heard of a Higgins boat Captain.

[@windwhipped5]

The B-26 marauders were to take care of that emplacement above the beaches. They did crater the hell out of it but like he said the germans moved large caliber guns and troops out days before. We had p-38s with cameras get photos a month before and had a few spies below the bluffs but it was what it was.
