D-Day Veteran's Harrowing Account: 'I Had to Talk to God'

On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, a veteran's emotional account of the Normandy landings has resurfaced. Donald McCarthy, a Private in the U.S. Army, vividly recalls the chaotic scene as Allied forces stormed the beaches. "I reached a point where I knew I had to talk to God immediately," he recounts, describing his intense prayer as he witnessed the invasion unfold. The video also highlights the crucial role of smoke signals in coordinating troop movements. McCarthy remembers his commanding officer, Colonel Cannon, emerging from the smoke, shouting orders to "get off the beach, get up, and run." The video, a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II, underscores the human cost of war and the enduring legacy of D-Day.
