75 Years Later, D-Day-- Part 4: Showing Respect

"The younger generations don't realize enough what sacrifices those men and women made for our freedom.  The world would have been a much different place if that war had been won by Germany," said Annie Riley, a singer dressed in a World War II-era uniform of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, or WAAF's.

"I do sometimes feel they don't get the recognition they deserve, and then you come to something like this and it is just so humbling to see how loved they are and how respected they are."

The veterans and the families crowded onto the decks.  A few pulled a few pints.  The mood was festive.

This time, however, everyone was looking forward to landing in France, not like the last time.
