I've known about D-day for decades but never really appreciated what it was all about, and war in general, and the sacrifices that hundreds of thousands made, until I say "Saving Private Ryan"
Best movie ever about the invasion of Normandy. So realistic.
I swear to God that if I had been on that beach I would had shat my pants out of fear and and I would have tried to find the biggest hole I could to crawl into...
Death was raining down on them indiscriminently and your chances of survival weren't that great.
I was moved to tears by the time the movie was over and my awe and opinion of world war 2 vets who saw combat went through the roof.
These guys truly deserved our respect and admiration.... and our eternal thanks.
