SummaryD-Day, June 6, 1944 was one of the turning points in the history of the world. It was a day in which democracy and freedom prevailed over oppression and despair.
Over 150,000 thousand men landed on the Normandy Coast more than six decades ago. They were part of the greatest invasion force the world had ever seen. They came from small towns and big cities from states all across America.
Five of those D-Day veterans return to France to relive their "Longest Day." Hear their own unique stories of survival and what they saw. Witness why these aging men still remain heroes to the French people 62 years after they first landed on the Normandy Coast.
It is an emotional journey to places where many of their personal nightmares originated and where so many of their fellow soldiers remain today, buried in the American Cemetery in Normandy, overlooking Omaha Beach.
"The hour-long documentary is a moving, well crafted piece that is, first of all, a tribute to the courage of the men who began the liberation of France on June 6, 1944. Beneath that, it is a mediation on age, memory and sacrifice."--Andy Smith, The Providence Journal
