Remembering Pointe du Hoc
Recorded at Pointe du Hoc, Normandy, France-October 2019
By Heidi S. Swinton
I am standing today at the World War II memorial at Pointe du Hoc on the northern coast of France. In the early hours of June 6, 1944-better known to us as D-Day-American rangers scaled these 100-foot sheer cliffs. Their mission was to seize German artillery to clear the way for the invasion later that day of the Normandy beaches below. It was a key element of the strategy to liberate Europe after four years of Nazi occupation.
The soldiers had trained for this dangerous mission for weeks on the cliffs along the British Isle of Wight. Despite their preparation, however, it seemed like a suicide mission. After reaching the shore amid a flurry of enemy gunfire and grenades, the rangers raced across the beach, shot rope ladders over the cliff top, and began to climb. Of the 225 rangers who came ashore, only 90 were still able to fight by the end of the day.
In 1984, United States president Ronald Reagan spoke from this site to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. Also present were 62 of those courageous rangers. “You risked everything here,” Reagan said to them. “Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? … Somehow we know the answer. It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love.”
Our national character is made of these qualities, and because of what happened on this spot in 1944, we might say that these qualities helped preserve our nation. We owe much to the faith, belief, loyalty, and love that have inspired heroic acts throughout our history.
Just a few miles from this sacred place is the Normandy American Cemetery. It features more than 9,000 graves and a wall inscribed with the names of 1,557 missing soldiers, most of whom came ashore on D-Day. The site is a solemn reminder that heroic acts come at a heavy price-something to remember when we fly our flag, march in our parades, and pursue our dreams in this land of liberty.

I always look forward to Music and the Spoken Word every Sunday. This day is especially significant because of celebrating our Independence Day, now and forever.
AMEN
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CELEBRATION FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL COUNTRY. LET'S ALWAYS BE THAT.
I love listening to these patriotic songs, and seeing the scenery of our great land! We are blessed!
...but others who don't live in the USA, are NOT blessed? That's not at all how we feel. I couldn't listen to this broadcast
My country is very ill, this is great!, Never give up, Godly people!
Thank You for keeping this great American music alive and the memories of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
Have visited with my brother, son, his mother Pointe du Hoc cliffs and gun emplacements. Made sure my son experienced running from surf line to the Cliffs. Faith in the Declaration of Independence’s promise of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness is essential for the DOI & Constitutional Bill of Rights grantees to work together. God Bless the Mormon Choir and its Announcer.
Always wonderful to hear and see the Spoken Word. A perfect addition to any home on the Sabbath day.
Thank you for a BEAUTIFUL program. You always do a wonderful program. Patriotic and spiritual!
Happy Birthday America!

Beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you for the freedoms I now possess. 😄❤🇺🇸🎆🎉
I think I needed this to remind me of what I have.
A Glorious Cause
Never was a cause more important or glorious than that which you are engaged in; not only your wives, your children, and distant posterity, but humanity at large, the world of mankind, are interested in it; for if tyranny should prevail in this great country, we may expect Liberty will expire throughout the world. Therefore, more human glory and happiness may depend upon your exertions than ever yet depended upon any of the sons of men… We expect soon to break off all kind of connection with Britain, and form into a Grand Republic of the American United Colonies, which will, by the blessing of heaven, soon work out our salvation.

I respectfully ask you to consider those of us from other countries who also love the Church & pay our tithes & offerings which helped launch this great choir, who may have negative feelings against the USA due to former colonialization efforts

Stand and remove your hat when in the shade of the American Flag! Amen.
Where are the comments?

When is music and spoken word going live???😥
this starts out so low in volume, cannot even make out the lyrics! So sad, these people are so amazing to hear!
The orchestra should take on some important orchestral works in music history.
