This is the best of the Jerry Callahan show.

18 years ago today, the greatest seaborne invasion in world history the greatest act of

courage known to man the greatest generation hit the beaches of Normandy, Omaha Beach, Juno Beach, and save the world.

And some of them were kids, children, 16, 17 years old.

I just heard a story of a 15 year old who volunteered. The first wave of Americans

and Allied troops to hit the beach, 90% of them were killed, instantly dead on that beach and I have to wonder today across this

country how many 15 year olds 16 year olds will learn about this amazing day, this fateful day.

How many will they take a break from learning about climate change

and celebrating Pride Month to celebrate D Day,

to celebrate the men, the kids, the boys

who saved the world.

On that day, 160,000 U.S. troops and Allied troops hit the beaches of France.

7,000 ships, 11,000 aircraft troop, our paratroopers, who jumped behind enemy lines, many of whom died before they hit the ground

or when they hit the ground because they had to make such risky jumps into France. Today there are 9387 Americans buried at Normandy.

I wonder today at school, will there be history teachers social study teachers

teaching this will they take a break from filling these kids minds with

mush to tell them them about the most important day in modern history?

I doubt it. You know what, I bet you could talk to any kid right now,

and they would have no idea what why the president is shuffling

around Normandy why 50 Americans heroes 100 year old guys hundred year old, are in France, in their wheelchairs

with their walkers, being honored by the people of France.

I can't even look at these photos without getting chills about my neck here in the back of my neck.
