WATCH HOW THESE GIS DRIVE A HUMVEE THROUGH THE STREETS OF BAGHADAD (MIND-BLOWING VIDEO)


Watch as GIs in a Humvee drive through the streets of Baghdad pushing anything in front of them off the road. Not exactly winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi citizens, but it is damn effective. Some raw language at the end of this video.

D-DAY REMEMBERED: 65 YEARS AGO ALLIES STORMED THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY (WATCH VIDEO)


I was just 15-years old when Allied troops under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stormed the beaches of Normandy. I can still remember when we heard the news over the radio that our troops had hit the beaches of Normandy. Everyone was invested in the war from the troops in the service to people back home in the States who worked at war plants and grew "Victory Gardens" to support the war effort. Everything was rationed from meat, gasoline to clothing. Every train that passed through our neighborhood carried either troops headed to Europe or the Pacific, or long, long lines of freight trains carrying nothing but war equipment.
Every house had a little flag in the window with a "blue" star for a member of the house that was in the military. As months went by, the "blue" stars were changed to "gold" stars signifying someone from that house had been killed in WW2. It was the best of times and the worst of times, but it was THE GREATEST GENERATION. Today, President Obama, Michele and their two daughters will visit Normandy to commemorate the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. It was the beginning of the end for Hitler's Third Reich.
