@Ianfitzespn History Channel has Tom Hanks’ WWII and Sundance has Band of Brothers. There are some amazing Twitter accounts that tweeted “real time” updates on D Day.
@DietCoke_Esq@HannaCanadia@Wahlberg4Life Have to wonder what Mark Wahlberg would say about his “# 1 fan” tweeting something like that. Don’t know if he’s on Twitter, but I don’t think Wahlberg would like that!
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
I was a U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer, I served proudly in Afghanistan, and I’ve dealt with the Intelligence Community. I can say with confidence that Bill Pulte’s lack of experience is dangerous for our national security. Congress must push back and prevent an inexperienced loyalist from becoming the next Director of National Intelligence.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has stalled so Putin bombs Ukrainian cities every night. The President’s negotiations have failed & we’ve done little to help Ukraine defend itself over the last year and a half. The time to act is now. Sending defensive weapons also tells Putin he cannot win. Weakness incites him to continue the war.

🧵| Shug Jordan in #DDay
When 156,000 Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago today, James Ralph "Shug" Jordan was one of them.
In fact, Shug was one of the few people to know the secret details of the landings before June 6, 1944. (1/8)
Perspective gents.
Also... these guys and the brave men i talked about the last 2 days at Midway didn't know the certainty of the outcome of the war.. but they strapped in.. and went...
So ... DBAP
On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Charles Durning was among the thousands of Americans who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Today, we honor his legacy by sharing the Purple Heart recipient’s powerful firsthand account from the 2004 National Memorial Day Concert.

Omaha Beach in 2024. We took approximately 2,400 casualties right here on June 6th, 1944. Today we remember their bravery and what it took to defeat the Nazis.
Today, we commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the Allied Landing at Normandy.
What these brave souls did that day and in the weeks thereafter, hedgerow by hedgerow, all the way to Paris was nothing less than saving the world. We give thanks for this courage and sacrifice.
