Phil Harriman, guest hosting for Matt Gagnon, commemorates the 81st anniversary of D-Day, highlighting Operation Overlord as a turning point in World War II. He recalls the bravery of British, Canadian, and American forces who stormed the beaches and climbed cliffs, resulting in over 175,000 Allied troops and 20,000 airborne troops involved. Mike discusses the casualties, including 4,000 deaths and 3,000 wounded on D-Day. He shares a personal story about his uncle, a 76th Ranger, and the emotional impact of visiting the Normandy cemetery. Both emphasize the importance of teaching history to prevent the resurgence of anti-Semitism and fascism.
