“It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things one group of people did for another.”
-#DDay veteran Andy Rooney on the young 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago.
Required watching for every young person today!
“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney
“Here the allies stood & fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking. … These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.”
#DDay
Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.
We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.
The men who put country before self, and freedom before their own personal safety, deserved to be remembered today in all their glory for their remarkable heroism on D-Day.
Operations Overlord and Bodyguard were successful only because of the oceans of blood shed on those beaches by the patriots buried there. You will never be forgotten for saving humanity from the black clouds of evil that hovered over the world. Thank you patriots. 🇺🇸
On the day of his passing, we remember Ronald Reagan—not only for the offices he held, but for the life he lived.
Lifeguard to actor, governor to president, husband and father. As we reflect on his passing, we also celebrate the legacy he left behind and the millions he continues to inspire. Take a look back at a remarkable American life. 🇺🇸
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
Today marks 22 years since the passing of President Ronald Reagan. At his memorial site, the words carved in stone come from these remarks at the opening of the Reagan Library in 1991.
