**When disaster strikes, ordinary Americans help fellow citizens......**
Except soon in Louisiana it will be illegal to do so without proper training and certification.
I had eitheer forgotten or never knew of this.
Can someone please post the direct link to the video? My apologizes but I could only cut and paste the link. Thank you
My first response to this statement was that the Dunkirk “boat lift” was the largest in history. If the 500,000 person figure quoted here is correct, and I’ve no reason to doubt it, God bless them all. Never forget. Never forgive.
Thanks for posting.
Watched the video, shared it with my email circle.
After 15 years the true extent of the tragedy recedes. The video renewed those memories and strengthened my resolve to MAGA.
I will never forget what was done to my city and to Americans in the air & on the ground that day, nor will I forget the bravery that was demonstrated by ordinary Americans who risked and in many cases gave their lives to rescue and protect others.
In 1956 we were visiting my grandparents in New Jersey.
Upon hearing that the Andrea Doria was sinking, I went with my father and grandfather, in my grandfather’s fishing boat, to the scene of the sinking ship.
I remember that we fished a man out of the water and then headed in to shore. I always wondered what the man said to us. He spoke only Italian and we only spoke English. I was 10 at the time.
Tom Hanks narrated a short video about the rescue. It was about 15 minutes in length and was posted to FR a few months ago. It was nicely done!
Just for perspective, 192,000 Allied soldiers were rescued at Dunkirk.
