9 members of Congress parachute jump over Normandy for D-Day anniversary

[ABC] A group of American lawmakers honored the bravery of World War II veterans who took part in D-Day with a parachute jump into Normandy on Friday morning, using some of the same vintage planes that flew American paratroopers over France 80 years ago.

The lawmakers are all military veterans, and were led by Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Michael Waltz, R-Fla. The other participants included: Reps. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, Rich McCormick, R-Ga., Mark Green, R-Tenn., Cory Mills, R-Fla., Darrell Issa, R-Calif. and Keith Self, R-Texas.

Crow, an Army Ranger who served in two units that played key roles in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, said the jump was a "very personal experience."

"To participate in the jump over the same fields 80 years to the week was an incredible experience and my way of highlighting that service and sacrifice," Crow said.

#1 Anyone see anything unusual in para two? Yes, all Pubs. Sure glad there were no problems with the old aircraft and everyone survived the jump. Daylight, no weapons or equipment...jumping "Hollywood."

Don't wish to harsh anyone's patriotism, but I'm not sure our representatives need to be doing this sort of thing. Just my opinion.

#3 The best way to respect the veterans and the awful hell our nations put them through is to make sure it does not happen again
Lets stop provoking russia

Anyone want a preview of the horror ofnuke war can watch the old BBC film Threads on bitchute
Jump straight to the 40 minute mark to avoid the boring intro where characters are introduced. You dont need their life story
Just cut to 40 minutes and watch on to see how it would unfold

It is not worth anything
