As a proud American, I wish to thank the people of Normandy for remembering the sacrifices of those brave men all those many years ago.
Always first!! The 101st Airborne Division. My husband was with the 101st in 1967, deployed to Vietnam. We returned to Ft. Campbell, Ky many times in his 22 years with the USArmy. In fact our twin sons were born at Ft. Campbell. To all the veterans and all those who fell in that horrible war, many, many thanks. Three of my Dad’s brothers were there during That fateful time, one fell on that hallowed ground, and two returned home and went on to serve 25 years in US Army, and the other served 33 years in the US Marines.
My father landed on Omaha Beach on D- Day. Assigned to a Tank Destroyer Unit. He never really talked about it very much until after he turned 80.
He was a beloved dad and hero to our family though.
He WAS an American hero. Thanks.
Plenty of applause for the modern day soldiers and the old vehicles - but the biggest was for that handful of veterans in the lead truck. And well deserved, too!
I was there with my group from Fairfax, Virginia on Sunday, June 4 and everyone in the town was lovely to us. Thank you so much to the people of Saint-Mere-Eglise for the warm welcome, and to all the young people working the food stands and restaurants who had to work extra hard to accommodate us.
J'étais là avec mon groupe de Fairfax, en Virginie, le dimanche 4 juin et tous les gens de la ville nous étaient charmants. Merci
beaucoup aux gens de Saint-Mere-Eglise pour l'accueil chaleureux, et à
tous les jeunes qui travaillent dans les stands de nourriture et les
restaurants qui ont dû travailler plus fort pour nous accueillir.
Angela Galper How long was this festival? Week ?

greetings from france
God bless you 🙏
The Polish armed forces in WW2 fought at the Battle of Falaise they were called the First Polish armoured Davison led by General Staniswaw Mączek 🙂🇵🇱🤝🇲🇫
Thank you to the greatest generation, for saving the world!
@HELMUT ALTO had the US joined the war in Europe earlier, combined forces between the UK, US, and USSR would've taken out Germany in a matter of months, it would've been to overwhelming for them, however the US still had to fight the war in the Pacific almost single handedly, aswell as build up a military powerful enough to take on the Germans, keep in mind almost are entire Pacific fleet was wiped out in the beginning of the war at Pearl Harbor, not only that but our planes in the airforce and navy were heavily outdated in the beginning of the war aswell. It wasnt until we had the Sherman Firefly that we even had a tank good enough to REMOTELY EVEN GET CLOSE to competing the German tanks, and it wasnt till the P-51 and P-47 in the airforce, that we could compete with German BF-109s and FW-190s, and it wasnt until the Corsair in the navy, that we could compete with the Japanese Zeros. After pearl harbor, the US had to do a complete rebuild of our Navy, I.E. the Iowa class battleships, North Carolina class battleships, South Dakota class battleships, and revamped Tennessee and New Mexico class ships, aswell as having to build alot of Carriers, Subs, and Destroyers.
,,Saving the world" they ruined it.
@DAS SPANISCHE REICH REGIEREN Yes..
@@Marco-bf4uu Nazi fan!
Saving? From what and what for?
AMAZING, AND WHAT A WAY TO REMEMBER ALL WHO GAVE THERE LIFES FOR FREEDOM. R.I.P. TO ALL THE MAN ON D-DAY. Eamon in ireland.
God Bless the Greatest Generation!!!
The veterans had big cheer! Well deserve! Thank You French for honoring our hero soldiers they are amazing
Had tears in my eyes seeing those veterans.
Glad to see the old equipment is kept up with well. Look brand new yet
The Polish also fought with the French against the Germans in May 1940 🇵🇱🤝🇲🇫
Niech żyje polska 🇵🇱 ! et Vive la France 🇫🇷 ! Proud of franco-polish friendship our brothers since at least 500 years
There are no more survivors of the great war 1914-1918.
Their stories and memories were taken with them into the grave.
The time is near there will be no survivor of the second war, their stories and memories will be gone soon also.
Let us not forget what these men, and women, have given to the world.
Let us hope the rewriters of this history will never, never, win!
My grandfather and many of my neighbors when I was young. Were WWI vets. I keep their memories alive in my heart.
I’m an American and I love just smothering myself in that sweet sweet AMERICA WON THE WAR feeling. Though it’s not true and we did help but so did all the other countries such as Britain,France, Canada etc so my thanks goes out to you guys for being our allies!
mobskii the alies won not only the americans
@@sportnerd4816 ja
If we would won europe wouldnt be such an shit hole as it is thanks to our weakness because Victors write history we cant rise again
@@reneprivatemail.3303 that's what the guy just said
When that horse shat on the road in the beginning, that was beautiful
Merci aux Alliés de nous avoir libérés !!! 🇫🇷+🇨🇦+🇬🇧+🇺🇸=💪🤝

⭐🇷🇺⭐ RED army! save your all !
@HELMUT ALTO quelqu'un d intelligent
Good show! Nice to see the germans represented as well they had brave men fighting as well, not always for the nazi cause, many german soldiers had no intrest in politics.
thankyou for posting this for all to see
Great video!
Remarkable to see in this parade a lot of well-preserved and well-maintained operational mechanized WW2 US Army equipment… they’re priceless and historical. Evoked a lot of memories of that time and the heroic men who fought in that war. Bless them all.
Get choked up watching the old Vets and remembering just how young they were in action
Now, thirty seven years out to pasture, after serving 22 years in uniform... Seeing this..wish I could go back and do it all over again.
Greetings to these noble Americans from Saudi Arabia, loving you USA❤🇺🇸KSA🇸🇦❤
Beautiful can’t wait for D-Day 75 next year - up to 40 DC-3s will drop up to 300 parachutists!
Jules Mcgowan yes, was there for the 70'th anniversary and every year since. Already booked for next year . Daks over Normandy will be awesome.
Seriously cool stuff! I'd love to visit these towns and locations that were so important on D-Day. France has such a wonderful rememberance and appreciation for the allied soldiers. They have countless memorials across the country which honor the fallen allied soldiers of WWII.
awesome! wish you could have filmed more!
I love this.
Thanks
Bless 'em all!
At first I thought it odd that the French would dress in American uniforms. After thinking about it, it's a good thing because they can honor and remember those who are still buried there. Growing up WW2 veterans were everywhere, it was hard not to find them. Now it's really hard to run into them as time has taken most of them.
@HELMUT ALTO There is a old saying Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. With the exit of Great Britain from the European Union and the rise of Nationalism I say good luck.
@HELMUT ALTO Last time, learn your history. After the first war France had built one of the most powerful and defensive walls in Europe. How long did it take to Germany to go around. America had one of the most powerful navies in the world. Yet Japan destroyed it in a few hours. America thought it could use it's might to over power north Vietnam. Nukes will not stop a war from happening. The man who invented the machine gun thought it would be so destructive no one would rage war. Kennedy almost attacked Cuba not knowing they had Nukes already installed. For men of power do you really think a few million lives matter? They would gamble with peoples lives, history does not change, people do not change.
@HELMUT ALTO No my friend, I assure you major powers have already calculated this all out. The first strikes would target nuclear launch areas, the rest would be targeted by the new missile defense systems. You and I have no access about these systems. You have a weapon, I will build a better one. You have a rocket, I will build one to kill it, it goes on and on. Then one day some nut feels he needs to save the world, even if it means blowing up 30% of it. Fantasy? It's human nature, it's history and it will happen one day. So that's why it's important to honor these dead so we not forget the cost of war.
Great parade!
sacred place and sacred friends
We knew that they were Allies as they smiled at us, and waved at the kids!! We were liberated!!!!!!!
The French citizens of Normandy have more historical appreciation of D-Day than most Americans these days!! So proud of these French citizens!!!
Linda demais essa homenagem para os aliados...os meus olhos encher de Lágrimas 😭😭😭
Thank-you for thanking our Heros !!!
Merci
An amazing place to be
Was trying to work out where the video was being taken from,at first I thought it was in the main square by the church but noticed the long road in the background so could not be correct.Worked out I think it was the main road into St Mere Eglais. Been to St Mere many times.
Intéressant
This is awesome! My family and I were there in April (not trying to spam but there is a drone video of the beaches in my videos if you'd like to see it) and it was amazing. Now I really want to go back for the D-day celebration. How early did you have to get there to get a front row spot?
Having been there for the last 3-4 D-Day events its about just knowing your way around , plus times and events etc... ive filmed them a few times this particular time i was there for around 45mins before the event, you'll see if you take a look at the others on my channel . thanks
Excellent video:

God Bless America!!! If America did not get involved we would need to be liberated
Long live to all soldiers fallen
Coincidence: The sherman with the name Oklahoma, the kid with the 96th Divison "Tough Ombres" patch - a unit originally made of men from Texas and Oklahoma, and then the paratrooper with the mohawk - a member of the Filthy Thirteen started by Jake McNiece from Oklahoma.
In 2024 i will be there! 💪🏼💪🏼😎😎😎😎
We Americans love our European brothers and sisters, it may not have started that way but it ended that way and man oh man I'm happy it did, 🙏❤️💯🇺🇲🇬🇧 united we stand now and forever
90+ thumbs down? SMH. Impressive array of WWII vehicles. Wait, was that last marching unit German soldiers? That’s an interesting twist.
My uncle Mike was dropped into this town and was wounded but was able to set up a roadblock at the crossroads. He never really said any more than that.
une veritable time-machine, pour se rappeler de tous ces garcons là qui ont donnè nous leur vie
1:22 Paratroopers of the German Bundeswehr
why nazis were invited ?
@@ommsterlitz1805 Idiot. Read first, then comment!
@@marcaurel2610 I don't you know what germans did in France especially in Normandy and village like Oradour-sur-Glane no respect should be given to them
@@ommsterlitz1805 Oradour-sur-Glane was a terrible massacre and a war crime. But these young German soldiers do not feel they are representatives of the Nazi regime, but of a new and different Germany. Yes, the past should not be forgotten, otherwise it will repeat itself. But this is about international understanding. Didn't Russians, Americans, or French commit war crimes over the centuries? You know the answer. Like any army in the world that has fought. And that is not meant as an excuse.
Even so, their armies march together on such days. To remember the dead. Unfortunately not the ideologies that sent these young men to their deaths. So, let's fight to prevent it from happening again. Wars only bring suffering, despair and death.
Cool
The Greatest Generation won that War. Back when real men were real men and real women were real women. People were tough, strong, and knew how to step up and sacrifice. There isn't a chance in Hell we would win that war today. It wouldn't happen.
yes lots of brave men fought very hard
this is a good example

Lest we forget💪
Next time, put up barriers, keep the idiots away from stepping in front of the vehicles, less risk for the military guys on foot too.
Been to Saint e-Mere- Eglise many time, its wonderful walking about and breathing the history and freedom.
Visit the Cafe E Castel in the corner of the square, they do the best Croque in Normandy.
Respect to the 101st, Longue vie à la France, elle est belle.
Does anyone re-enact being a collaborator?
These Are My True Heroes Of War And And What My Father Tells Is That My Grandfather Was A Hero.
USA USA USA USA.
It's good! My grandfather also fought the against Nazis!
Berriel123 Yvn. After what you can see, do you trust than there is morons to say french People hates Americans. You are able to juge by yourself it's a lie. We shall never forget. Amitié de France.
Bad Russian. I presume you mean against the nazis.
Yes, against the Nazis!
Berriel123 Yvn And my grandfahter fought the russians.
What is the tracked vehicle called before the M3 Halftrack?
Thank you for the upload...I am just curious..planning a trip to Normandy for the 80th anniversary. What city do you recommend staying in?
Those Paras didn't look too sharp? Were those reserve troops or, some club or something?
Quando vimos o jeep lembramos do general Paton!
Is it Easy Company from Band of Brothers?
Heroes
That horse poop in the floor made me really uncomfortable
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
is this E Co. ?
Bonito defile militar.
Friends sister: *Cries* My little sister: 3:12
should include the German kit as well
This parade needs more marching bands , and horses, along with tanks.
Not sure all this carnival atmospere is appropriate...best visit on an ordinary Tuesday and remember quietly...
jolie video...mais bon coté jeep ya que du m201.....m'à jeep une vrai gpw de novembre 43,pas un m201 reconstituee de piece philipino,de chez jeep village
Wow my favourite game D-Day
3:45 3:47 soldier on the left: Corporal Upham (fron James Ryan movie) is back in Normandy!! :-D
When para troopers came they didn’t come unarmed make it more history corrext
The part when the tank rolled on poop 3:13
PrestoTheDragon poop was there to recreate exact history
0:33 when the parade begins
I'm crying when I see the liberation of Sainte mere eglise in 1944 d day film
I would like to see the French Resistance represented who have the allies invaluable support at great cost of lives in the days and weeks after D Day
Nice parade but there is a reason you should put horses at the end, never the beginning.
Shit on the ground sees the tanks: *Ah shit*
wanna see the reaction if a few tiger+kingtiger would drive through with an waffen ss unit behind it hahaha
Vive la france
OH SH .....
Vive les paras et vive les femmes francaises.
Don't you love the soldier to the left with the Valdez nametape who doesn't salute the colors as they go by? Most unimpressive, soldier!
Probably stolen valor..
Porque não se criam tropas de paz?
Pseudo poder e ostentação só aumenta a discordia
A vida e frágil e se rompe num sopro!!
That one horse was so disrespectful 😂
Anybody have a shovel handy?Patton would have turned that horse into hamburgers with his pearly handled revolvers .
It is always a good idea to put the horses in the back of a parade because shit happens.
0:9 no mames se cagó el caballo
YNW Rookie ya ves, y luego pasaron los tanques espachurrándose la cagada
Im sorry but i believe it would have been more epic to have the WWII vets riding the shermans in..
Devil Reject, good luck getting them up on the tanks safely and keeping them up there ... and getting them back down. I agree with you that it would have been cool, but having worked with the elderly I don’t know how it could have been done.
Os EUA com os Inglêses fizeram o meio de campo nessa linda vitória....quem pegou o osso duro foram os Russos!
N then from the horizon u hear a shot dhuffff from an 88mm stoping the rear sherman tank dead in his tracks with One Shot n then u see camandent peter muller's panzer #287 the last TIGER with iron cross insignia on the sides charging in together we are stronger dyammmmm
Viewing this march makes me miss the Germans
Or probably more the Russians! 😄
I love the Americans compared to the germans, the germans look like they're doing a dance move or sum
Depp....
It is crazy that the reenactors in France are allowed to drive tanks but are not allowed to carry hand-guns. Group of Czech reenactors had replicas of Tommy Guns and the French police almost arrested them when they entered the square. Not the blank-firing guns, like in other countries, just toys! But the French police assume that French people will shit in their pants if they will see toy-guns in the hands. See the video here: dotyk.denik.cz/publicistika/francouzska-obec-mela-problem-ceske-reenactory-s-nefunkcnimi-replikami-samopalu-20180613.html
Seulement en France il n'y a pas de tuerie de masse tous les jours, les armes sont interdites et c'est très bien.
Vive les alliés
Could someone be kind and explain to me why are there german soldiers?
Shouldn't need explanation 🤔🙄
