- 80 years have passed since that fateful Tuesday morning on June 6th 1944. The operation that began the liberation of France, Western Europe, and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front against an evil that had never been seen before was known as D-Day.

Sadly, there's very few people these days that understand how lucky we are to hear these stories from a few of the hero's there those days!!! What an absolute honor, that'll be immortalized forever now. Thanks BRCC, you kick ass every Memeorial Day but still, this one's great!!
You're right, I could listen to brave and courageous men speak for hours. I'm so glad to see there is recordings still existing. These men and women were some the best generation of people. To bad it's almost non existent nowadays.
The two times we die. The first time is the day we stop breathing and our heart stops, the second time is when people stop saying our name and remembering us. Let us never stop remembering these heroes.
One way of looking at it is that we’re lucky to live in a time when so few people have an understanding of this kind of warfare. We’ve lived enough generations away from this kind of thing that the kids have no concept of what it was like. Which is exactly what they would have wanted-for the kids to not have to think about things like this.
Boy isn't that the truth
I blame the us school system. We teach to pass a test to gain knowledge
It won’t be long and all we will have is memories of this generation…
I could listen to jack Mandevilles voice every day. Jack is a national treasure!
Jack is so underrated it's criminal! The man's talent in everything he does is fantastic!
Didn't take me long to realize it was him, a few weeks back (maybe months) on the unsubscribe podcast he had said he was scrambling to get a bunch of interviews done with WW2 vets, great to see it was done justice.
Came to make the same comment. Jack's voice definitely enriched the video.
Thank you Jack, BRCC and all those who have a part honoring these veterans and documenting their story for history!
Amazing men. Remarkable stories. Incredible courage. Undeniable patriotism.
The word for this is "heroes". That's what they are, were, and forever will be.
My heart aches for those we have lost and for those who can't forget the terror of war. Many young people who live in this country take for granted what others before us have suffered. Outstanding stories brought to us by devoted veterans who produce these great videos.
The sad part to me is they aren’t taught these things in school anymore.
That's why we have a military
Remembrance Month
We don't need a month to celebrate LGBT,what have they done to promote America?
Even the term "greatest generation" does not do what these men did enough justice. Thier stories are incredible.
This makes me miss my Dad and all his amazing WWII stories. Army Air Corps, Pacific Theatre, John Bain from Dallas, Texas.
Excellent work. Thank you BRCC for sharing these stories in such fantastic fashion
Today is the 80th anniversary of D day and what those men did this day 80 years ago was incredibly and they truly were the greatest generation God bless them
The privilege of being able to hear theses stories is surreal
I hope this is the 1st of a long series. These are the stories that need to get out especially for todays generation of youth
I've thanked you before and I have to do it again. THANK YOU for letting us hear the stories of these heroes. Please continue to find these veterans. There are so few left, and their stories need to be remembered.
To be understood, ALL veterans deserve to be heard and remembered.
You're doing a great service for us!
I went to a VFW in Lansdale, because I was in the memorial day parade. We were in uniform, and we got invited to come over for food and drinks after the parade. I was thw only one that showed up. While I was there, there was a WWII Vet there. Sometimes the room got called to silence and he would just start singing. They were songs I've never heard before. Then he sang Blood on The Risers. It was so weird for me because I felt small in comparison. I am a 19 yr old PFC and I'm standing there looking at one of the men I considered to be my heros, that I read about. I love this kind of content
Brings tears to my to my eye at the thought of how little time we have left with these great men. My grandfather fought during the war through to Germany and he’s the reason I joined and served in the army. Thank you papa and to these men.
I love listening to these stories, and how lucky those are who listen to them first hand. I remember as a kid, my neighbor was a P-47 pilot who flew missions over france escorting bombers. He flew the P-51 when we reached Germany. He was a hero, who sadly is no longer with us. I loved stopping by his porch on my walk home from school and listening to his stories.
My Grampa fought in N. Africa, Sicily, Italy, Omaha Beach and then Germany...he was in the Army and NEVER ONCE HIT BY A SINGLE BULLET
I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND BRCC!🤘
He went straight from Omaha Beach to Germany? He missed out the rest of France and Belgium? 😝.
Thank you for telling these stories. Never stop telling these men's stories.
To know one of my grandfathers lived, breath and died along side his brothers brings a tremendous joy and gratitude in my life & towards these men that you can’t even explain. Beyond grateful 🇺🇸
Both my grandpa's served in WWII, my American grandfather flew in the Armed Air force, my opa fought on the side of the Germans. Much respect to all those who fought, and died.
Way to represent, BRCC. There’s still some good ones left in our Gen.
Thank you BRCC so much for bringing the stories of this fading generation😢!!!
People need to hear these stories and to keep the legacy of these men alive for future generations. When we forget our history we're bound to repeat it. There's very few WWII veterans left to talk to so thank you for doing this. My father, and several of my uncles, were all part of WWII, and shooting over the graves with an M1 every Memorial Day is a memory as a child I will never forget.
Thank you for telling their stories. We need to hear them now before they can't tell them anymore. We owe it to them and the fallen.
Jack did a great job with this. Excellent work and thank you for sharing these stories.
A rescue swimmer that shot down a German plane?! That’s badass! God Bless those men. 🇺🇸
Thank you BRCC for documenting this guys and their story . This Men should never be forgotten and what they did for America.
Thank you gentleman for being a part of this GREAT COUNTRY'S success in WW II , I want to wish you guys all the best. You are the one of the reasons that I joined my Marine Corp an retired out of the Army as , a non Commissioned Officer. Thank you thank you thank you
I love these stories. It pains me to think of how many stories are lost to time because so many men refused to talk about it. Such an important part of our history, When I worked for the American Legion, I'd go to conventions and, even though I'm a Gulf War veteran, I never talked about what I went through. Mainly because it's insignificant by comparison. But I loved sitting with the older veterans and listening to their stories.
True heroes are always the most humble. Thanks to these men for telling their stories.
God Bless all of you for your service!❤🤍💙🇺🇸
I cant even imagine being 18 years old about to disembark on DDay.. Like its hard to even fathom. True heroes... They dont make Men like this anymore.
I am Belgian and live free thanks to these men. All of them were a different kind, all of them were emperors.
Every time I hear or watch documentaries on the first 2 World Wars it makes my time in the service underwhelming. Even though I spent 6 years in the Marines from 2000 - 06 & 5 of them were overseas. That's why they truly are the greatest generation 👊🏻 🇺🇸
The greatest generation of men women by far. I wish some of these people nowadays had an ounce of Patriotism they did. Never let them erase this valuable part of history
You know we have young men and women enlisted in the military now right? Your comment is very disrespectful to them.
I met someone that landed on Omaha beach at a VA Hospital. He told me about his injuries he suffered, and how he was upset that he could not continue with his buddies. He said he does not know how he survived, and that it bothers him that his 2 best buddies didn't make it, but he did. That is the type of men that landed on the beaches of Normandie.
Jack Mandaville FTW on narration!!!
All American patriots should visit the Normandy beaches, I have had the chance to make the visit. It was truly daunting to stand at the shoreline of Omaha Beach, and imagine what it was like for a young man with 80 pounds of gear trying to disembark from an LST and fight his way up a hill. Terrifying. Nothing that most people of today could possibly imagine. And for what? Our FREEDOM.
I was also blessed to be able to visit the Pearl Harbor memorial. My Father was a US NAVY pilot. An instructor and later deployed to the south Pacific in NATS. My Dad spent time in Pearl, the Philippines, Saipan, and many island groups in between. My Visit to Pearl made it all come clear for the value of his sacrifice.
Salute the Veterans who gave it all. Support the Veterans who lived to tell a story. The comforts you have today have roots in their labor and sacrifice.
The greatest generation
“It shook the rain loose! it did!”
“Follow me!” “Give me my gun back and I’ll give em a bit more”Hard to imagine what it was like. The interviews and footage… wow. Greatest generation. How do we compare now?
Keep telling their stories. They should never be forgotten. I know I'll never forget the the courage and sacrifice of those that served before me.
Keep showing and telling these brave, courageous, and patriotic men and womens stories. Never let them be forgotten! Maybe some of the Patriotism will spread on to these America hating traitors that are among us today. I used to just love hearing the stories from my grandparents that were in Europe during this time.
I live in Abilene, Ks, home of Eisenhower. Today I went to the 80th commemoration ceremony with 20 World War II vets in attendance. What a privilege to attend with these men who most likely will not be around for the 85th.
Man I miss my grandfather he was a guadal canal and Okinawa marine he died 1.5 years ago he was my idol and the best person I've ever met. This was the best generation they were so patriotic and honorable it's so sad that they are leaving us.😢😢😢
Rip Gaga
They should never be forgotten and always thanked
The best producer/narrator/interviewer Jack Mandeville! Brcc give this man a raise. They truly are the greatest generation! Thank you men for your service
My grandfather never spoke about it a lot. Enlisted at 17 and ended up in the 82nd. He spent some time in Africa and then jumped behind Normandy. All he really said is that it was absolute chaos. He jumped again at market garden. He was captured that day and sent to Stalag 7a. He spoke more about life at the camp than anything that happened prior to that. Basically he spent all day working on a 1 mile section of rail. They repaired it during the day and then the British would wreck it at night. He spent the entire time repairing the same mile of rail.
It's absolutely INCREDIBLE to listen to these men. It's a damn shame more of today's generation doesn't make time to hear about the things these men endured so that our families could live their lives in peace. These men have lived their entire lives with memories that many will never be able to fathom. God bless all of them!
PS: YTube lately has been blurring out segments of historical documentaries that they deem to be "too violent" and bunch of other BS. I truly hope they leave this video untouched.
More of this please… Great job young men. Lest we forget about history we will be damned to repeat it.
The greatest generation. Well done lads.for doing this. Here in the UK we have documentaries on regularly from all landing points but this was a great watch. Thank you to all allied forces who smashed the greatest evil. We will remember them
Please keep sharing these stories. Please keep honoring these men. Let us all keep carrying on the good fight of this greatest of generations.
I just thank you all for your services and sacrifices for our freedom and country. You all gave it your all . I always tell you all thank you for services when I meet you out in the public to all veterans and in the service.
Thank you for these BRCC.
As a USMC Infantry Team Ldr Afghanistan Combat Vet x2
I thank you for saving the world because you are the generation that truly saved the world
Thank you will never be enough for what you men did
Forever and Always you will be rememered as the GREATEST GENERATION
MAY GOD WELCOME YOU INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
I have no words to say ,but God bless them they are an Amazing generation and I love hearing their stories everywhere I can find some of it ... Thanks for this awesome video brothers✌🏽
Please have more WW2 veteran interviews. We need to hear their stories and experiences. Greatest generation.
Not many ww2 veterans are still alive... I'm a 90s baby and when I was a band nerd in middle school, I played taps on the trumpet for a couple ww2 veteran funerals. Idk how I did it without crying while playing thay song... now in my early 30s I regret giving uo playing the trunpet because I could have played taps on an instrument instead of people listening to a recording through a speaker... God Bless ALL the ww2 veterans and ALL other veterans 🫡🙏
Good job, Jack. Great film. We have to keep telling these stories. They did what they did for our freedom, and we shall never forget.
To all the veterans and civilians who make up brcc,including the top brass. I just wanna say thank you. slowly but surely y’all continue to bring positive impact and change to veterans and their families of this great county!
I continue to support and believe in all you do both as a customer, investor and veteran. Plain and simple. Freedom isn’t free. Nothing is. No matter what people say about past or future generations they are all full of true patriots and I think brcc is imo what every single American should be waking up to. ☕️🇺🇸 and a fine example of what we and all the other generations of history fought and continue to fight for.
Am I just gonna cry forever like these guys? I was in Iraq, 2005, south Bagdad, FOB Falcon (door kicker). I can’t get that shit out of my head. I’m involved with the VA, but I still can’t talk about the incidents with kids and people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Every Sunday I sit in church and just cry the whole sermon. I can’t get rid of it. I was so scared going up and down routes Irish and red wings every damn day just waiting my turn to get hit by an IED or VBID, after seeing so many gun trucks get hit all around me (but never me, how in the hell does that happen). Then after a while, you’re just to exhausted to be scared, to exhausted to be anything really. And then, you just don’t give a fuck anymore. Unfortunately, that’s when you start to get really good at your job. Thanks for the great documentary video. I will always be a fighter and never cave in!!!
Jack
WE will never see the likes of the men and women who comprised The Greatest Generation. There isn’t a day I don’t think of their courage and sacrifice and thank them for the freedoms I have enjoyed my entire life. My father served in the Pacific Theater; my maternal uncle was killed-in-action early in the War in North Africa during a Stuka dive-bombing attack. His third mission proved to be his last. My siblings and I were deprived of the joy of knowing our beloved Uncle who my late brother was named after. I salute The Greatest Generation and Allied Forces with heartfelt admiration.
Jack Mandaville is the perfect man for documenting these men
Thanks jack for producing this it’s a great tribute to those guys. One of them was my neighbor who jumped into France the day before and lived in to his 80s.
Thank you for sharing. We have to record and share these stories before we lose them.
Thank you guys. The Vietnam guys are not getting younger, I wish there where more sharing their stories on podcasts. Listening to them really makes you appreciate peace. Respect to all who served and still do but ❤ to the ground pounders out there.
That must of been the most fearful day for a young soldier. The Allies prevailed. God Bless the US.
My father was in the 3rd Infantry Division in WW2. By the time this amphibious invasion happened he had already made 4 amphibious landings in Europe but you never hear about them.
It’s gonna be a sad day when all of our WW2 veterans are gone. 😢
My dad's division was the unit on the Leopoldville. Luckily he was on a lst with his jeep instead of the troop ship. The 66th division was brigaded with the French 12th division and fought on the Atlantic coast to take the German submarine pens. This was one week before my birth on New Years Eve 1944. He passed away in 2010. Was proud of his CIB for the battles around the subpens.
I would like to thank each and every one of you for what you do for the veteran community and the fallen.
My uncle finally touched gold beach on his third try.
First time they noticed him and thought he was wounded until he refused to go back aboard
Second time a Sargent told him to stay close and they could show the others how it was done. The sargent was killed half way to the ramp and pulled him down to the floor as he died.
Refusing a third time to return to the ship and finally made the beach.
When he found cover and looked back all of the men from his third ride were also dead.
When my uncle finaly a way he became a chaplin...A career he kept his entire life.
Can't hear these stories too often. Thank you for this.
I served in the Bastogne brigade 60 years after George Mullins.
Thank You for doing this.
You guys did it right. Thanks for remembering those who have been forgotten. Lots of heroes through the years. Glad people like y'all say those things about them.
Thank you for posting segments like this. In a troubled world today, let these men be a reminder of greatness and doing the right thing. This is a powerful message and must never be forgotten. Best regards fom Norwegian Int Ops Vet.
My Grandpa was a Tail Gunner, and his Brother was on the Norfolk
Visiting my Son in Ft. Campbell who is an Airborne Infantry Officer. And we were having this same conversation about what would happen today and he looked at me and said that if a War like this would break out, he believes aside from our current Military serving ie Active, Guard, and Reserves. He thinks that before the country would depend on a lot of folks (Civilians) with today's entitled mentality that they would turn to us (Combat Veterans) to come back. And I 100% told him, and they'd be goddamn right to call on us because we would be ready, as our boots are currently right by the door. I Love my Country, I Love my Son, I Love my Family, and for them I stay ready. ~SSG De León
Wow….Kudos Black Rifle Coffee Co. Fantastic job on this documentary on the greatest bunch of men that ever lived.
First Allied action and casualites of D-Day....British Airbourne Forces Raid behind German lines. Largest D-Day contingent/Force.....British and Commonwealth Forces. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇭🇲🇨🇦 We Shall Remember Them.
My Father was a WW2 VETERAN. Richard Mordechai Gist, Rest in Peace. He was a great father, Patriotand conservationist. He was born in 1924, went through the depression and was a Union Carpenter the rest of his life. He was definitely part of the GREATEST GENERATION ever. God Bless these VETERANsS and Thank you for your service to this great naton.
My grandpa was with the first wave of the 29th Infantry Division that landed on Omaha Beach June 6th, 1944. I have the D-Day to St. Lo certificate he received that states he served with The 29th Infantry Division from D-Day thru the capture of St Lo.
He was a quiet man that was well liked in the community. To look at him, was hard to imagine what he went thru. He very rarely talked about The War, and when he did, it was usually about some antics that he and his buddies would engage in but never about combat.
I've been to those beaches and it's truly amazing and astonishing that ANY of those guys survived.
I appreciate these men reliving their hell and tell their stories. Thank you gentlemen for your sacrifice, definitely the greatest generation ever! 🇺🇸
Well done Jack and BRCC. That was fantastic
It was truly an honor making the music for this very important story and film.
Thank you for this amazing tribute to honor our WWII Veterans, those who offered the ultimate sacrifice, and to the Greatest Generation. It is truly a privelege to hear and see the testimonies of these great American Patriots. We will forever be in their debt for the service and sacrifices they made for all of us. I am humbled and in awe of these beautiful, brave souls. Eternally grateful to the Greatest Generation. May each one find rest, honor, and peace on High always. God bless them all. 😔🇺🇲🙏❤️🪖
True heroes, me joining & still in the service is cause these men
Wow, great job BRCC. What a show, thank you!!!!
Veterans,
Though it's never going to be enough, thank for the many sacrifices.
Love y'all. Land of The Free BECAUSE of The Brave!
0 > 22 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
#22NoMore
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH BROTHERS AND SISTERS who served before me
Thank God for all the young men that fought for are freedom. God bless you all. R.I.P to all that didn't come home.
Good job jack mandaville this is top notch
Thank you brcc for sharing! Also a guy named Jack Hammer is just a stud 🇺🇲
I'm proud to say it is the great men like them that made me serve my county! Greatest generation to ever live feels like an understatement! God Bless the USA! Thank you BRCC for another gem admis the everyday BS.
Is that Jack?! Well done ,sir! Amazing reporting. This is a story that never needs to stop being told.
Fuck yeah Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. Man you sir are a badass. What a great man and hero. Thank you for saving so many lives and for your service. Bravo zulu from a current full time professional Firefighter search and rescue technician up here in Canada! 🇨🇦🤙🏻
Much Respect!
Hero’s all, every blessed one of them passed or survived, hero’s all!
True heroes. Never Forget what these Heroes did.
Unlike today's "individuals", notice not ONE of these amazing men mentioned their own feelings, or wants, no anger or animosity. Just determination and service. Fucking amazing.
True men of service and sacrifice.
Jack and BRCC this was fantastic work. Heading to Normanday on Sunday with my dad in our Willy’s Jeeps.
God bless them all. You truly are the greatest that this country produced. Same goes to the Allied veterans.
