    #silentsunday #stillersonntag

    During #WorldWarII, the Allies referred to #OmahaBeach as a stretch of French coastline in #Normandy near Colleville-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, and Vierville-sur-Mer, where the 5th U.S. Corps landed as part of Operation Neptune.

  2. Here is a message to all of my American and Canadian cuzzie-bros, whose parents or grandparents spent some time during the second world war in Britain as part of our shared heroic fight for freedom.

    English women had three complaints about you Americans and Canadians:

    1) You were overpaid.
    2) You were over-sexed
    3) And you were “over here”

    Thank you all and God bless you!

    “Last night, when I spoke to you about Rome, I knew that our troops were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. . . . And so in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

  6. @patpro ha oui là c'est un autre niveau...
    Hier, voir un gros paquebot #costacroisières dégueulasse (qu'on imagine plein d'hypsters à shiba-inu et d'intagrameuses insouciants, sur-bronzés et flasques, ou de boomers continuant à ravager indirectement la planète toujours plus #verslinfinitaudelà) juste après les images des jeunes soldats dans les barges et les bateaux partant pour la boucherie #omahabeach , c'était....🤮

  7. 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion.

  9. #dday80

    I knew about June 6, 1944 before I visited France eight years ago, but I've had a different awareness of this day since then, because I went to Normandy ... see my post from 2018 on IG for more:
