My Grandfather was a C-47 pilot who flew in the D-Day invasion. He dropped paratroopers and gliders over many runs. The second night, June 7th, after a paratrooper drop his plane the "Miss Barbara" was shot down and they ditched in the English Channel. All crewmembers survived and they floated in a raft for a day until picked up by a Spanish ship. They made their way back to England and got in another C-47 and flew many more missions. I never heard the full story from him directly as he would never talk about his time in the War. He was the Greatest Man i'll ever know, I miss him. God bless him and all the WWII Veterans.

Let us never forget the bravery of the men and women who fought to free Europe and the world from tyranny in WW2 - there are lessons to be learned even to this day

Your filming is better than every major news site

Salute to all the brave men who participated in D-Day!

Stunning close-up of that paratrooper and his chute! Excellent coverage! 👍

Looks like the Golden Knights dropped in. I love the C130 with invasion stripes. Per US ANG website: "The aircraft, an U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules assigned to the 123rd Airlift Wing, will fly over France Thursday as part of scheduled D-Day observances, said Master Sgt. Lee Stanley, aircraft structural shop chief for Kentucky’s 123rd Maintenance Squadron. His Airmen applied the historic livery in late May, adding black-and-white stripes, period-accurate roundels and legacy-inspired nose art using a combination of paint and decals. The same stripes were applied to Allied aircraft in 1944 prior to the invasion at Normandy so the planes could be easily identified, avoiding friendly fire incidents. The nose art, designed by Stanley with suggestions from other Airmen at the 123rd, features a unicorn and lightning bolt on a yellow field. It’s based on the heraldry and squadron patch of the 368th Fighter Squadron, a World War II-era unit with ties to the Kentucky Air Guard, he said. The new version adds invasion stripes and a dark green field as tribute to historic fuselage markings on the 368th’s P-51 Mustang aircraft."

Proud of my late dad landed with 4/7 dragoon guards at very sur mer alongside the Green howards regiment I've been there so many times sorry cant do it this time God bless all who served there always remembered and honoured

Beautiful, just beautiful and thanks again for the work and effort you put into these for us.🇬🇧📚☘️

me and my wife did the 75th anniversary and saw loads of great displays both on the ground and in the air, and I even got to play my bagpipes in front of the tank at dead mans corner and got a but thumbs up and a wave from one of the houses opposite. we went to loads of events and I have to say that its not until you have been to Normandy do you realise just what really happened on that day. the images in the museums don't hold back either and are not afraid to show the carnage of some of the gliders that landed that morning in houses and in trees and the men that didn't survive these crashes.

Lovely to see this...thank you.❤

A salute to all our amazing heroes who gave their lives for our freedom! 🫡🫡

Amazing, truly amazing!!! I love the free world!

Sounds quite windy for a jump, but well done to those who took part

Thank you to all the brave men and women who fought for our freedom, sorry you’ve been let down by our politicians.

Tragic that what is missing is the fighter and bomber aircraft of the era that are not part of this memorial service. We need to pay homage to all land sea and air services who all played a crucial role in the normandy landings, Let us all never forget all those who sacrificed their tomorrows for our todays

Mom worked at Douglas, Long Beach. They built C-47s, B-17 on contract, and A-26. A B-17 just flew over my house yesterday and the day before. Lol - what? 🤷🤷 nearest airshow is over 200 miles away. I recognized the engine sound though after many decades.

Do Americans still think the French hate them after seeing them driving their vintage military Jeeps and Humvees with American flags on them? Heck, they even look more patriotic than some Americans these days

Some Incredible Examples Beautiful Freedomous Work Amazing Vibe Wonderful History Great Effort

Hello Sir Congratulation for your videos about D Day. Are you the man I have met near Carpiquet airport last Saturday ?

Cool ! Merci

That was an awesome day- I was #9 out of the first plane, second pass 👊🏼🇺🇸🇫🇷

THIS ABSOLUTELY, AWESOME.

I saw some Dakota's over East Anglia at the weekend , amazing!

nhìn thì thấy cũng hoành tráng phết nhưng sang ukulele mấy biết hay thế nào

Normandy: my second home. We will remember them.

Vive les Canadiens!

They make it look easy

🇬🇧🇬🇧GREAT BRITAIN🇬🇧🇬🇧

Les voiture de l'armée française sont magnifique

Does anybody know if Ready 4 Duty made it to France, to join the rest of the D-Day Squadron?

Except 80 years ago they didn’t jump from C-130s and they didn’t jump onto Purple Heart Lane.

Very confusing video - seems that the looping of content w/ the historical vehicles somehow interlaced w/ modern vehicles, etc? What’s the purpose?

Then clear through French Customs with their passports? Great! Airborne...all the way!

I'm guessing we Brits are not doing the same thing???? As D-Day is ALL about America !!!!!!

Both of my grandfathers served in the US Army during WW2 and one of them, while in combat, received a BATTLE FLAG from his comrades for his heroic actions! He kicked butt over seas! Killing a few Nazis only with his bayonet! A man’s man! Rest In Peace to the both of them. 🙏🥲🇺🇸💪 God bless America, NATO, our allies, Ukraine, countries that are friends of America and the free world! Much love to France for taking care of our fallen soldiers gravesites.

They pay A high price

❤

this looks the Golden knights, Army Special Forces Demonstration parachute Team.

Thursday, June 6, is the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the allied invasion of France to defeat Nazism. Very few veterans survive, but I was in Normandy for the 50th year observance, travelling with veteran paratroopers on D-Day Eve. I was supposed to witness airborne veterans parachuting from a vintage aircraft into a VIP area, but I decided to leave my space to a veteran, so I walked into Ste Mere-Eglise, the first French town liberated by our paratroopers, to wait for the parade- the ceremonial re-enactment of the battle- to assemble in the church square where the carnival of American television- Bryant Gumbel and Joan Lunden- were all broadcasting to the US and the world. As I moved through the mass of people to photograph the parade, I was overtaken by a surging throng screaming “Vivre Americain! Merci Americain!.” I kept saying, “Je ne suis pas une veteran!” but it didn’t matter. They wanted to physically embrace Americans today. I have photos of the parade. A line of mounted Gendarmerie cleared the path. The 68-year-old airborne veterans who had jumped again raised beer cans and cheered. Then- future Chairman JCoS General Hugh Shelton led combat-ready detachments of contemporary American paratroopers, fresh from the fight against Iraq. The victors of Desert Storm saluted the victors of Normandy with a triumph that would have paled Ceasar. The best light infantry of any army, anywhere, at any time in history, were feted by thousands of grateful, free people from around the world, their clamor to render all honors and glory to the airborne forces of the United States. On June 6, 1994, I was travelling with the 101st Airborne Division veterans’ association when we drove into Carentan, encountering the Fallschirmjager Regiment Six 50-year reunion. Fans of the tv show, “Band of Brothers,” will recall the battle to capture and defend Carentan. We were looking for the turn from the Normandy highway to Les Moulins, Omaha Beach, for the international observance by the heads-of-state of 13 D-Day countries. We missed the turn, driving past the German cemetery at La Cambe, where a lot of people were gathered. We drove on to Carentan for refreshments, before turning back to Omaha. As I stepped off the bus, I saw the green banner with gold Teutonic lettering, “Fallschirmjager Regiment Six.” I assumed they were at La Cambe, but when I opened the door to the restaurant, there they were. Elite German infantry, now 68 years, drinking and talking. I held the door for a Screaming Eagle who walked with a cane, saying, “It looks like the Germans are having their reunion, too.” “Just the ones we didn’t kill,” he muttered, a reference to the large tumulus at La Cambe. The sight of the Screaming Eagles patch on our veterans’ caps exploded like a hand grenade. Every German sprang to his feet and pulled tables and chairs out of the way with a cacophony of squeaking and scraping. Now I was wearing a trench coat, so I acted like a security officer, holding the Hun at bay. After 50 years, this band of brothers just didn’t want to speak with Germans.

What suv/trucks brand, model are they driving, the smaller rounded off ones at the beginning (they almost looke like jeep grand Cherokee's, but aren't)?And motorcycles?

Impresive how the United States has to always defend the world if you take a closer look to the REAL story of Normandy 1944, was one of the most EPIC battles of human History.

And on the same day we have Maga republicans trying to throttle democracy. What happened?

The French conspicuous by their absence, as usual.
