the top of these cliffs they began to seize back the continent of europe. 225 came here. after two days of fighting, only 90 could still bear arms. these are the men who took the cliffs. these are the champions who helped free a continent. these are the heroes who helped end a war. bill: if you ve been to the beaches of normandy or if you haven t gone yet, just know when they came over the allied forces came on shore the germans were dug in that part of france and bel belgium. it was the top of a cliff there and they had to scale the cliff in order to get to the german garrisons to take them out one-by-one. not like you could go in there with bombers and knock them out. you had so many of your own men on the beach before you. of all the stuff i read this morning i want to share this
we assault a target we move through and extract. those guys went in before the landing and they stayed on the beach clearing the obstacles. they didn t leave. over 50% of them made the ultimate sacrifice. they were killed or wounded. that would be like losing 50 percent of the seal teams right now. it s amazing their actions and proud to honor them and work with the navy seal museum and a big sponsor and we are proud to bring that. it is easy to do. go to fox nation and watch it. if you are a veteran you get it for free the first year. bill: what s the story? i assume gonzo you must have done something crazy. i was stationed in italy. gonzo in italian is the goofy, funny, smooth guy. dana: smooth guy. i would have picked you out of a lineup. thank you so much.
