What is there left to say about D-Day that hasn't been said?
If you weren't there, you'll never understand it,
and if you were there, you know that words just don't do the job of describing it.
Five beaches, and a hell of a lot of men throwing themselves against
the toughest defences the third reich had to offer,
and up above it all, us, doing everything we could to help the boys on the beaches out.
They had us doing everything that day. The first order of buisness was to drop markers
on the enemy bunkers, lighting up the targets for the cruisers off
shore. Then it was time to clear the way for the
infantry, not to mention the armor that came with them.
Of course, the Germans had a little something to say about that.
Today we kick open the door and in six months, we all head home.
I think it's about time we did this. LCT 305 has hit the beach, it's getting crowded
here. Now let's do what we came for.
They're ripping us up! You have to take out those machine gun nests!
Right now, I just want to tear them all to pieces.
We're losing boats left and right. Get out of the open people! Go! Go! Go!
Let's make a mess out of those Messerschmitts. Aww hell...
Were the Germans supposed to have tanks here cause I'm seeing plenty.
Don't you dare get yourself killed, you hear me?
He's gone...
