D‑Day anniversary, Allied forces landed on Normandy beaches in 1944

Rick of this Shit35

Who knew just a few decades later, we would desecrate that sacrifice and let America fall to simple greed. No bombs, no wars, just pure unadulterated greed was all it took to destroy this democracy.

Today, June 6, 1944, the Allies invaded Normandy in Operation Overlord, laying the foundations for the liberation of France from Nazi occupation and the end of Hitler's reign of terror. Let us hope that its significance is not lost upon contemporary Americans, suffering under the current regime!

To eliminate fascism from the world...

My dad was on day three, Omaha Beach, advance forward, Old Hickory. I find it unbelievable that this many years later, we now have to fight Nazis again, in our OWN country!!! Heartbreaking knowing what he and his unit and all WWII veterans went through to end up here.

We need to abolish the "gop" who spit in the faces of these brave soldiers who gave all to keep us safe and to destroy facism. What was once the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower is now a cheap criminal enterprise of human traffickers, larcenists and manipulators. #endthegop as it is OUR RIGHT!!

A relation was at D-Day & remembered the bits of paper blowing around the beach in the wind like confetti. Every soldier had letters from home tucked into his pockets, pack, helmet, boots, ... & that papery snow was from those letters.

I was taught by history teacher who was missing digits from that.💐 He would be shocked we fell into tyranny \ non representative government via new monarch billionaire perverts!👹👹👹

My pops was one of those kids who saved the world from Nazis. I never in my wildest grief thought there would be a moment that I was glad he isn’t here to see, but this moment in our country is indeed that moment.

Just keep swimming.12

May we never forget why they sacrificed themselves on foreign shores, far from home and their loved ones. Americans and allies, both.

We have a leader that has none of those qualities in fact he's the polar opposite....our country is in tears 😢

My friend’s daddy, my “Italian papa” landed on the beach on D-Day when he was 18, was so severely wounded at the Battle of the Bulge that he was told he’d never walk again…he danced with me at our wedding 33 years later. This was “the Greatest Generation”…we owe them everything!

US Asunder7

Yes, and those people who made the ultimate sacrifice... were both Democrats and Republicans of all colors and faiths.

And according to the scumbag in the White House the ones who died to save the world were all losers and suckers.

Schwatzy aka: Art Schultz - Liberal 🇨🇦🍁5

Bone spurs called them suckers and losers

Doc Zombie - ANTIFA Psychiatry5

My dad, farm boy and air force accountant, said little but he did call trump 'a character' before he passed. That's about the worst thing he would call a person. It doesnt seem like much, but it means the top of the sh*t list.

terrible towelie5

my grandpa was there if he were alive i'm sure he'd be even more pissed off than me over the nazi takeover of our country George, you get in there and tell the republicans about the rabbits, George

My dad’s first cousin, Jack. I recall childhood visits to my Great Aunt and Uncle’s home. They spoke proudly of Jack while we sat in their living room drinking too sweet tea with his photograph, in uniform, staring at us all. As a child I couldn’t understand how a sacrifice produced smiles.

@GioLovesYou5

My Dad went to Normandy Beach serving in Intel. He could barely talk about what he witnessed. (Both my parents were way older than me as the last child.)

FWIW, in regard to your Congressional run, I imagine that you & I would disagree on many policies, vehemently, but you understand exactly who the fascists are & what they’re doing. My major concern would be whether or not you support the conservatives on SCOTUS. They are destroying our democracy.

MH4

Thank you. May we strive to be more worthy of all they did for us.

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. When 160,000 young men began the downfall of fascism. Almost 5,000 died. Statistically, some of them were probably great grandfathers of today's MAGAS. If that's you, you s/b so ashamed to support this fascist regime. Trump called them suckers.

OCB16404

For many Americans, D-Day was their first taste of combat. For us Brits, we’d been at it for 5 years by this point. No disrespect to any Allied troop of course. At the 60th anniversary, I partied with loads of the old boys-including a lock-in at a local pub! Crackin bunch of lads.unforgettable

We should remember, and never ignore this was not done to support a convicted felon to destroy!

My mind has it being 2 Americas now. One I love and remember, while the other is a living nightmare.

Gave their lives to defeat Nazi and fascist regimes

Let's be clear. Are you to be considered an Independent, a Moderate, a Blue Dog Democrat? Who are you George. Be clear. If elected, who would you caucus with?

Dre🍁🍉3

The patriotism I feel for the boys from Canada that gave it all at Juno beach cannot be overstated. We owe everything to you, as does most of Europe. I’m not a religious guy but bless your brave souls. Vive le Canada.🇨🇦

I was a huge fan of yours until I saw your weak and cowardly answer about genocide in the debates. I thought you had a stronger moral compass than that.

Barbara Anderson2

To me even more impactful than the battlefields in Normandy was the American cemetery

☘️MaryCate☘️Votes☘️2

On this, we should all be able to agree! My dad was part of the naval fleet that landed men & matériels on the beach that day & also provided artillery cover. They were getting incoming from the Germans. An uncle lost an arm at St Lo. We owe these men & women a debt of gratitude. #VoteBlue

Jason Hanson30

I was on Juno Beach last June to try and track my grandfather's time with his Light Anti-Aircraft battalion there. I wept constantly, imagining how he would feel to see the current resurgence of fascism, the US threat of annexation; his friends dying so we could be apathetic. Never again.

Their courage gave future generations the freedom to dream, build, and live in peace. We will never forget their sacrifice. 🇨🇦

May their memory be a blessing.

German forces feared Canadian troops in WWII because they were highly aggressive, relentless in close combat & had a fearsome reputation. Veterans of the WWI warned the new generation of German soldiers that Canadians rarely backed down & were masters of fierce, aggressive squad-level tactics.

I took this photo in Dieppe last year where there a number of memorials to the Canadian troops during the D-Day invasion.

Fascism has returned. Courage. Not appeasement. Let’s keep the spirit of Neville Chamberlain where it belongs: in the dustbin of history.

John Bossy9

Canada did its part. Deep respect for those guys.

We will remember them! Nous nous souviendrons d’eux!

We fought fascism then and won, we will again. I am 64, but I will volunteer my time to help my country if needs be.🤍🇨🇦💪

An extraordinary & unforgettable moment when Canadians, Americans and the British stood shoulder to shoulder to fight fascism and liberate France and Western Europe. And here we are today, still struggling against it.

our troops penetrated further than any other regiment that awful first day. These are the true heroes and not the over paid athletes that so many exalt

always honour their sacrifice and thankful they fought fascism.

beekerri.bsky.social2

As always, we did more than we were asked. Proud to be Canadian every day.....but especially today.....much thanks to all who served, and especially those who made the greatest sacrifice.

People today can't even imagine the sacrifices ALL those men made. Many thanks to our anti-facist (aka Antifa) brothers and sisters up north. bsky.app/profile/darr...

Currently, you are collaborating w literal nazis, the UCP, Palantir, Israel. Currently the Canadian government is committing genocide. Mark Carney is a nazi traitor to Canada who is shamelessly stealing and exploiting the memory of Canadians to promote his fascist white supremacist party.

Thank you 🇨🇦 for the sacrifice that your veterans made that day. Thank you for continuing to honour them by standing up for human rights and democracy across the globe. The world will always remember and be grateful. 🇨🇦💪🆙

Sadly the French have more remembrance than the American children and grandchildren probably do.

Brave Americans died to halt fascism but ended up with it at home. What would they think 🫣

This is breaking me. So beautiful and what a respectful way to honor these brave soldiers - the original antifa.

So many heroes lost that day. RIP all of you.

To bad we lost that War and the Civil War...because I'm looking at 'Merikkka and see Nazis and Confederates everywhere.
