- In this 2013 report, we narrow our focus to just one of our eight D-Day veterans, who returned to Normandy, France last week. Sixty-nine years to the day, Sgt. Major Robert Blatnik was able to walk the same stretch of sand that he and his men assaulted at 6:30am on June 6 in 1944. It was his first time coming back, and he told Doug Dunbar this trip made a memory that will stay with him until the day he dies.
this man passed away today. 100 years old. respect and much honor to his life
Rest in peace, He is going up in a better places where his comrades are.
Nope he is still living in our brains forever
yeah
Damn respect
never forget

My grandfather was on that beach as well and passed 3 years ago. I can't imagine what they went thought at such a young age. Thank you to all the men that sacrificed their lives so we can live ours. Rest in peace.
MY AGE dude… abd i’m straight out of high school. it’s absolutely terrifying to think about and i have nothing but respect for them.
I would like to thank your grandfather for my freedom..God rest his soul..an American hero
I like war
WW2 German veteran
Sorry for your loss! I hope you were able to spend alot of time with him. I regret not asking my grandfather about his time in ww2.
I was a young Marine flying to Okinawa in 1995. Little did I know it would make a huge impression on me. The plane was full of WW2 Marines. There was a special event being held for the 50th Anniversary of the battles for Mount Suribachi and Okinawa. I was omw to serve a 1 year tour in Okinawa so I was in my Dress Alphas. When I walked on that plane you would have thought it was my birthday and everyone was there for a surprise party lmao. They all cheered and introduced themselves and started telling me that I was a little late for the war LOL. I sat next to a Marine Raider who started to get emotional when I sat down next to him. I was only a 20 year old kid but by the time I left that plane I had a whole new respect and understanding of those great men.
Imagine how hard it is to step on land where thousands have died, and probably one of those were his friends.
Must be hard knowing and seeing what went down there 74 years ago. My great grandfather actually served during WW1 at the Battle Of Verdun and died there. At home he had a wife and a son which who would become my grandfather. I found out a couple years ago though my grandfather since he was part French. I visited Verdun on vacation a year ago and I swear I felt some type of connection. It was weird.
@@tarraintorres9374 wow what a great story
Yes I know that would be so hard but it’s prob more then one
and that theres Probably 100s of bodys Buried under the sand......
And that he saw how they died,
Their screams.
Their suffering.
The life they could have had.
Their families.
Their girlfriends.
Their moms.
Their dads.
Constantly hearing gun shots aimed at you.
Must be a living nightmare
He passed away in December 2020, He’s with his veteran brothers now
God Bless his Soul✝️

You can hear from his tone, his face, his eye. He seen a hell on earth. I believe if he visit that beach, he still can hear the sound of mortar and artillery, machine gun fire, hail of bullet zipping past and the sound of soldier shout in pain.
It's not hell, it's way worse. For the innocent suffered terribly on that beach. In hell it is the sinner that suffer.

My uncle was with the 101st Airborne during D-Day. He said he landed behind enemy lines, killed a few germans, and spent the night in a French brothel and waited for reinforcements. He went home after that and he died in 2012.
To be fair, it was not a bad idea. Not in terms of duty but in terms of survival instincts, digging a hole was probably the best idea one could have

What an amazing man. He would have trained in my village, im so honored that his history is linked with where i walked and thought about him in where he marched and thought about his future. What an amazing man.
Imagine the odds of actually surviving this beach that day. The gunfire, the screams, the blood. Literally hell on Earth. Can't imagine what these people saw. Respect to everyone who serves and served.
Omaha Joe Whats always been terrifying to think about is how the people who survived just got lucky. There was nothing special or different about them. They just so happened to be in the right place at the right time. If one of them were a little to the right or the enemy gunner had his attention pulled a little more to the left, the people who lived and the people who died would have switched roles really quickly. Going on that beach and knowing that there’s nothing stopping you from dying but chance alone, and knowing that most of the people around you will be gunned down just so you have a chance to make it...I can’t imagine a more hopeless feeling of insignificance in the face of catastrophe...
@@purpleemerald5299 I totally agree. I meen ffs the boats coming up to shore were in RED water because of the amount of blood spilled from people being killed before even getting to the beach. I just can't imagine.....
There has been one medic who got shot 3 times before he passed out and before he did he was still giving aid. God bless the soldiers on that beach American, British, French, German, Canadian, and any others I have not named.
The odds there were way higher than what they depict in saving private Ryan, Saipan and Okinawa were way more violent than D-Day
Think that is bad read about the horrible battle of Iwo Jima there was a 86% casualty rate......

Vince Paul he’s saying your generation is a bunch of pussys
@@ryanbayer1784 They are to stupid to understand that lol
Agree 100%. The people these days are cowards an destroying everything our ancestors fought for. In the past we fight for our freedom and now they fight to have it taking away. So stupid
1:59 imagine this sound over and over 69years ago
Imagine the mg42s that shoot 1000 rounds per minute
Nice
ooo 69th like
Scary
Everybody stops and dances
I’m glad the news anchor who interviewed him has significantly more & possessed class & respect for this WWII US Army Combat Veteran.
my dad was was part of the d-day landing on Omaha beach 3rd wave. He had survivors guilt. Always asked why he was spared when so many others around him died. Such a great generation. Don't know if it will ever be matched
I knew as soon I saw 2:00 there was going to be comments about it..........but mad respect to this man
Ik same
Well yeah, we have a generation of kids with no personalities that are just embarrassing
Their are all mean to say that. But god forgives them
Ik it’s fucking embarrassing that some kids these days spit on our veterans as if they’re useless. They act as though their rights are less important than being a ignorant wannabe comedian. Some countries don’t get the same rights America gets and to spit on the ones who gave us the opportunity and risked their lives to benefit the future is disgraceful and revolting.
Tommy M. So making a joke is thinking that veterans are useless?
