Wow.

Veteran's song commemorating D-Day invasion ranks higher than Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber

The youngest known veteran of D-Day is beating out huge names in entertainment with the song he wrote commemorating what happened on June 6, 1944.

Jim Radford was 15 when the Normandy Invasion happened. He served as a ship’s galley boy on the Empire Larch for the Merchant Navy and helped build the Mulberry harbor at Gold Beach, CNN reported.

It has been 75 years since the men rushed the beaches, some dying when they drowned and many dying from bullets shot by German machine gunners.

I could understand better if he was American. There were Canucks, Brits, and Ozzies too.
My experience is just from my family up until now. I've been told what it was like.
They're all dead now.

What a guy and just look at those medals.

A true American hero.
