“It’s terrifying and believe me when I tell you, when we were in the Higgins boat coming in, the long life that we thought we were gonna have could be shortened very, very fast because of the bullets that were coming at us,” says Locker.
Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Locker says he can talk about the Army but when he talks about the Holocaust, he notes, “I don’t sleep at night.” “Freedom is not free. There was a lot of people that gave their lives, millions of people gave their lives so that they — the children today — could be free.”Ludovic Marin / AFP - Getty Images
Rice was a staff sergeant in the Army, a member of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. He was the first to jump from his C-47, in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, near Utah Beach in Normandy, France.“I saw a hurricane of fire coming up from German positions below,” said Rice. “This is all microseconds that is going by my mind so fast that I'm not even wondering.
“We were wanting to get out of the plane. You got anxious. You know, you could get killed up there. And two of our planes got in our echelon got shot down and lost all the men in G company. And I had been in G company when I first went in,” said Deibler, part of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
Freedom isn't free and the planet we're poisoning isn't going to save its self.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be pawns in the rich people's for profit war machine.
Respect dude, but are you telling me that america and the constitution would have fallen had we not entered the war? Because thats the only way we wouldnt be 'free'
Thank you all for your service, bravery and uncompromising dedication to protect and honor the 'Constitution' of the USA.

I’m an Army Veteran and what I wouldn’t more is for y’all to check out my cover of The Grand Tour on YouTube. That’d be great 😁
The Greatest Generation! I hope families will preserve memories before these heroes are all gone. Nail down details. Found out today one child thought Hitler dropped a lantern in my dad’s Battle of the Bulge foxhole, blowing up my dad’s foot and his buddy’s head. It was a grenade
I watched a British series about a Detective Boyle that allowed me a small window into what life in must have been like in Britain during the time preceding US involvement - we really don’t know the reality of war that our extended family,the British,do.Thank you for our freedom!
Men and Women fought and died to preserve the constitution, freedom, and safety of the USA and allied nations. These rights will be eroded if they aren’t guarded. No tech corporation is going to change that. Free speech and honor will prevail.
Mark Stevens is a racist 🐷
HEROES
May we never have to lose so many lives to turn the tides against fascism and authoritarianism– abroad or at home. Today, we honor those who risked everything and those who made victory possible. DDay75thAnniversary Normandy75
Our current President disagrees. He only thinks heroes are the one that aren’t caught.
How I pine for the integrity of the era that saved us. Now we wallow with the worst of us, not a real defender of democracy in sight. Just self serving disgraces from top to bottom.
Some heroes were captured too. Anyone that signed up is a hero.
