@ukboy360 I'm not blaming anyone it's very tragic tough. Had not the Germans interfered, this would not happen.

@Hperman09 if it the past y say it

749 American servicemen died, 309 of them died due to British friendly-fire from HMS Hawkins. It was a higher death toll than the initial D-Day landings on Utah Beach, Normandy. Doesn't matter it was given order from Eisenhower, that doesn't excuse that Royal navy killing over 309 US servicemen. But it's the thing of the past and move on.

I am so glad for this vid. I know it's hard for vets to talk about it. My grandfather won't. But it is really important that their individual stories are heard before they are gone forever.
Hero's, all of them.

people cant understand what the face of war truly looks like unless they are there themselves. hearing the stories of the Brave,and the Heroes of our soldiers can show people that war is not always the answer. look what this amazing man deals with all these years later, imagine what our soldiers are dealing with today as they sit in the battle field. please keep posting numerous stories so we can all learn and cherish what our brave soldiers do for us. thank you... from a former soldier...
