I have been to Omaha Beach and it was a terrible idea to land there. If there had been Crack German Troops there, the landing would not have happened.
As it was, the rag tag Wehrmacth troops there took a heavy toll of the Americans. Thank goodness it was not well defended.

The beginning of Saving Private Ryan is about as realistic as it gets. I read that lots of men who experienced D-Day had to leave the theatre because of the emotional toll of reliving its realism took on them. Dogging on military people as I’ve read from a particular sorry SOB on here is one thing but you’re dogging on these men as well, heroes imho.

Its sad to me we lost some of our best on that beach. Would trade them in a heartbeat beat for ~50 million of todays dems.

It's a real shame after all the lives lost to the American way of life for what it's became!

The first 25 to 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is one of the those things that you see an cannot image that it really happened. It must have been pure hell to have been there an go through that battle.

What gets me is that the news never has anything about D Day or Pearl Harbor on these important days in our country's history. I saw not one mention of D Day yesterday. Heroes for sure but it's a shame that after what they went through, the country has turned out like it has.

I just visited Pearl Harbor today.
That was pure Hell also.So glad that I got to go an see it.

ABC news had a had a segment with a few of the remaining DDay vets. It was pretty good.
