[mspade83]

wow the camera handling on this is really annoying. i suggest a stand next time. or steadier hands

[The506thParatrooper]

0:53 as the ramp will open that slow, they would be that before they had a chanse to come out :s

[20cFilmWannabe]

it sound like a fire

[dude853]

[PBSnakeSFA]

[Movieman1944]

[French4thcommando]

Great film, thanks for sharing! I was on the Higgins boat, last one out. I hope more people will also post their vids/pics.

[movieman5743]

wich one is the higgins boat?

[French4thcommando]

It's the one where the ramp goes down and everyone jumps out from the front of the ship and into the water.

[phantom12321]

[movieman5743]

my goal is to have 200 views by this weekend

[French4thcommando]

I was happy to be able to participate with you as well. Looking forward to seeing you again at another event!

[movieman5743]

i have a question. where did you guys get those reenactment guns?

[French4thcommando]

At gun shows and firearm store mostly. They are real firearms and we use blank ammunition only. The semi automatic rifles and full auto require a blank adapter of some sort to force some gas back to cycle the weapon. At all of these re-enactments, there is a very STRICT safety protocol which must be adhered to, with very careful safety inspections. Accidents are very rare, and those who do not follow the safety rules are immediately kicked out and not allowed to join ever again.

[movieman5743]

ok. do you know where i can find replica weapons?

[French4thcommando]

You may want to look at the Airsoft website...I think they have replicas. I think they shoot pellets, I don't know much about them.

[movieman5743]

do you know if they are doing this next year?

[phantom12321]

They are not, they are taking a year off to do a Vietnam related program next summer. I think they will regret it.

[movieman5743]

yeah, the vietnam program sounds cool though. what is that going to be like?

[phantom12321]

something with an 80% scale version of the vietnam wall

[random0815]

yeah, what a great war this was, with george carlin: help the gene pool and use live amunition you sick fucks

[phantom12321]

I don't believe you understand the concept of honor if you cannot understand honoring those who fought to preserve our nation and the free world on the beaches that day.

[random0815]

i do, its a euphemism for male narcissim, you dont understand reenactment, cmon relive the full glory, have your guts and brains splattered out!

if you want to honor freedom fighters have a reading of montesquieu, hobbes, payne aso., without them these soldiers would have fought for tyranny, soldiers never fight for freedom, they fight for whatever they are told to fight for

[phantom12321]

no, he's talking to me. And he lives in la la land.

[movieman5743]

i can see that

[wwcharles76]

[phantom12321]

I'm the fellow who tripped coming out of the boat. You had a great vantage point for filming. Somebody needs to buy you a tripod though lol
