D-Day veteran recounts Normandy landings ahead of 80th anniversary

D-Day veteran Charles Shay is about to take part in next month's ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the landings in Normandy that led to the liberation of France and Europe from Nazi Germany occupation. Then a 19-year-old army medic, the Native American was ready to give his life, but also sought to save as many as he could. Now 99, he’s spreading a message of peace. #normandy #worldwar2 #war

Imagine today’s blue haired, nose ringed, video game playing, 19 year old democrats as soldiers storming the beach. They would be back in England crying they want their mommies and they aren’t getting on the boats.

Your words are untrue, unfair and intentionally hurtful. Not everyone from the younger generations would go to war, but not everyone in the Allies went either. Your disregard of our young people is disrespectful and argumentative. I am the proud sister of a Navy Sailor born in 1993, my brother served in the Gulf of Aden protecting ships from pirates. I raised him, and your disrespect for him and his generation is infuriating, ignorant, and disgraceful.
