- It's been 70 years since Charlie Wilson was on Utah Beach, where he landed with the U.S. 4th Division to take France. Now his mission is to ensure future generations know the story of one of freedom's greatest victories over tyranny. Mark Phillips reports.
Goodness! Had to choke back tears at 2:40. It's also refreshing to see those kids to attentive and respectful of this man.
i wish i was there.. wanted to thank them personally.
The fact that he said he's willing to do it all over again if he had to is astonishing. This man is a godsend.
I salute the ww2 veterans.
You are a hero and a great Patriot Charlie Wilson.
I hope one day to go to Normandy beach and cry my ass of for those veterans and pay my respects😢
Enter TheDragon I went the summer after 4th grade with my family I definitely couldn't fully appreciate the size of sacrifice shown in that Normandy cemetery but it still astounded me how massive it was
Enter TheDragon same

I’ve had the honor of meeting this gentleman. Even say him today. Helped him walk around our town get together and listened to everything this great man had to say. I’ve thanked him so many times for all that he’s done for this country and for the world. He’s truly an American soldier.
Good god what a fucking legend. We need more people like him on this earth
yeah man. i love that last line he said. he may be old but he can still kick but. im sure he would lay some ammo down range pretty well.
KingofAmerica97 Yeah more British heroes
Thank you so much... from France. 🇫🇷🙏
My father was in the Naples Foggia and Rome Arno Campaigns. He never talked about it, served 3 and a half years. He said the Italian people were nice to the African American soldiers there. Truly the Greatest Generation.
100% respect
Thank you, Mr. Wilson.
A legend...like all of them. I have mad respect for our vets.

Bull, I know well enough those kids were only behaving for the cameras!! Thank you for your service!

He has my utmost respect as do every single person involved with d day but he told his experience from inside a tank? I was expecting an infantry veteran or something
I always told my grandfather I would go with him to Normandy where he stormed the beaches 70+ years ago...however I don't think he truly wanted to go...he passed away back in 2010... I'm still going to go there and he can be with me in spirit....
France/US forever connected...thank you sir!
God bless them all those who died on the allied side. I'll always remember you all.
I have the greatest it's so much respect for the men that died at Normandy they are the true heroes for our freedom and the sacrifices they made for us
These guys fought one of the bloodiest wars and we salute you sir
I now him personally
its so sad that this greatest generation of all time will be gone soon.:( i heard some months ago that the last soldier who fought in WW 1 died in UK.:(
I would love to meet these guys and thank them for everything. I couldn’t even watch the scene in Private ryan. Couldn’t imagine
I live in Winchester I know Montana and Charlie I went to France with him and his translater aka my mom who teaches at GRC
All heroes (including this man) will tell you to take a spare set of underwear into battle....you will need it.
My great grandfather was a m4 sherman tank crewman. He was the radioman
FoRZ ClOuDz Did he survive The war?
SweGamer YT Sadly No, All we know is his tank was hit through the side.
FoRZ ClOuDz Sorry for your grandfather.
Me too
Damn he was only 18
What a SAVAGE GRAMPA
All he wanted to see was free children and he’d do it again wow that’s some balls!!!!
wow are we sure these guys weren't 'triggered' by anything he said? Can you imagine this generation having to fight that fight? No they would cry all day screaming 'Did you just assume my gender???'
