D-Day 29th Division Veteran Shares His Story (Full Interview) 

It is fantastic that someone has recorded and saved the interviews with these heros of men, for future generations to see.

When people talk about "fabric of our society".. this is the type of man that entails. We owe more than we can show these men.

It was so nice to see him light up speaking about meeting and marrying his wife. Thank you sir for your service 🇱🇷

What a great patriot... Begged his medical team to let him go back... God bless you Mr. Russo for your service. Thank you for telling your story. We need to hear this. You make us proud ❤.

What a great man. What a pleasure to listen to.

What a sweet man and a true hero!

SIR IT was an Honor to listen to you, as you remembered the names of those men, being good friends close nit unit.

Sir you are and always will be a Good Soldier, Father and exspeacialy a Great Husband. THANK YOU

His mind is remarkable to him answering questions like he’s in his 40’s considering he’s 100 yrs old it’s incredible he’s probably not w us but I would off LOVE to shake his hand unbelievable …. speechless!!!

God bless this wonderful, incredibly brave man

My grandfather and grandmother are in Newcastle. Name of Sweeney. Small world! All love and respect to you and your family Sir!

I see elevation lines on google maps from the beach to Saint-Laurent, 2 of them at 40 meters each for a total of 80 meters height or 262 feet elevation from the beach. The elevation was greater than 262 feet.

My Granfather was in the 29th..radio operator..he never talked much about it with his sons. He told me some stories when I was very young..I still have some of the things he brought back. I had many more questions

What an incredible man. I wish men were still like this. This is how I grew up. Real men. God bless you sir

I have always wondered if any these guys knew my granddaddy. True hero!

Another good one Legend! Trying to see all the stories you’ve gotten... Lol... And it’s so awesome you put in the time to do these... It’s a lot of time to get this much footage... Great job!

What a fine gentleman! Wish I could hear him talk all day ... God Bless him and his precious wife 🙏❤️

Marvelous interview. My father was in the 29th Division , 116th . Your gentleman helped answer some questions I had too. In the 116th, the vehicle could not come in as close as described so he came out of the landing craft carrying his rifle over his head. The water was chest-high. That would correspond to the later time before the tide came in.

Thank you for fighting for this country! Real life super hero! 100 years of wisdom and experience on this earth. Blessing. God is good!

Quite surprised when he mentioned the training at slapton sands that he didn’t mention the disaster that happened there! Great interview none the less. Another hero’s story told and recorded. What a guy!

Grid Bless you sir Thank You for the sacrifices you endured I respect and appreciate that so much you'll never know

Thank you both!

THE GREATEST GENERATION 👌👌👌

Thank you for your service

And The Life. Great interview.Amazing health!

Thanks for your service.

He is why we had a chance to be free. Thank you.

Tidworth barracks is still a military base today .

So thankful and grateful for this generation of men.

let me pause for a moment to acknowledge the awesome way that the interviews on this channel are conducted. i have watched many interviews and documentaries on ww2 and, in my opinion, this guy does the best. rishi sharma, you will probably never see my comment, but thank you for doing these. ty not just because it is so important to record these men's stories while we can, but also for the attentive way you listen, the way you ask specific questions that conjure poignant anecdotes and enlightening details from these veterans' memories. ty for your humble appreciation of the person you are interviewing rather than trying to steal the stage yourself. and although you stay in the background, it is clear that you are an extraordinary person yourself. cheers to you! and to your future success!

Love listening to these guys.. but dude. Cool it on the adds.

is he still alive? he might know my grandfather who was in the 115th infantry, 29th division, company E. His name was Robert Vandina. I wonder if they knew each other.

Great American hero!

WOW.. LONG BRAVE LIVE.. AND A GREAT MEMORY 👍🏻

I’m about 42 minutes in and already about 8 commercials have come on. I would say that is excessive

I think the he said Saint-Laurent. The middle of Saint-Laurent is 4200 feet from the beach as measured in google maps.

I Am The Way and The Truth No man comes to The Father but by Me.

I can't remember breakfast let alone what this hero told us ! 😊

🫡🇺🇲"God Bless Our Veterans and Active Warrior's!!!"🇺🇲🫡 I'm so, Grateful for being able to share your, Everything! 🫡🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🫡

What a legend!

Man i really want to see medics story from d day.

The huge pillbox. Anyone who moved was killed by the machine gun. He asked, aloud, "we need help". 31:57 Then at that very moment he witnesses a United States Naval *destroyer* move *right* *alongside* the beach itself and obliterate the pillbox to smithereens with 3 volleys of 5.5" gigantic Naval Gun shells. *Direct hits* This Veteran saw this 1st hand with his own two eyes.

He couldn't remember,but I bet he was in ft. Pickett VA.Thanks for the video.

They *advanced* *through* the minefields. Moved, THROUGH the mines. 32:28 32:50 they were stepping OVER mines The GIs, all moving, to meet and make battle against the enemy, in numbers, caused the enemy *to* *retreat* But men *died* moving ahead, *advancing* right through the MINES. 33:01 For *two* *HOURS*

No temper more love.

Is this man still alive I would love the opportunity to speak with him I bealive he served with my great grandfather

There is a church steeple, EGLISE Saint-Laurent, in Saint-Laurent. Maybe This is the one Rishi Sharma was talking about.

Wow unbelievable smh

29:08 - Who else would he send? 😭💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Thank you for your service sir and all that your generation did for us.

Commercial every 45 seconds wow really ?!?!
