357 Magnum as a
great one posted. David Hammond (of Top Gear fame) has three people recreate Omaha beach over a period of 4 days, which is then stitched together via clever video editing. It is quite something to watch, and a respectful salute to the young men who fought there 76 years ago.
Highly recommended.
Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHate to be that guy, but....
ReplyDeleteRichard Hammond is the now-sadly-former Top Gear cohost who's hosting the linked tribute. No idea who David Hammond is.
Just watched the whole thing, as well as re viewing Saving Private Ryan. I must say the trailer -- the three guys dressed as GIs was, shall we say, silly, to be kind.
ReplyDeleteWell done and a good perspective.
Enjoying a glass of Calvados as we speak. In memoriam. As I have said, every American should visit this sacred site.
Ended up watching The Longest Day again last night after reading .357's post.
