Honoring the First Special Operators of D-Day
Presented by The Green Beret Foundation and The Jedburgh Media Channel.
Unknown Heroes: Behind Enemy Lines At D-Day
In honor of the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, The Jedburgh Media Channel, an official program of the Green Beret Foundation, proudly bring you Unknown Heroes: Behind Enemy Lines At D-Day. This is the story of the Operational Groups and the Jedburgh Teams instrumental to the success of the Allied invasion.
Hosted by former Green Beret Fran Racioppi and featuring US Army Special Forces senior-most leaders, we highlight the pivotal role and sacrifices made by our first special operators in defeating the Axis powers. This production will be broadcast on over 175 stations across the country, raising awareness of the Green Beret Foundation's mission while also educating and honoring our predecessors. On June 6, 1944, nearly 160,000 Allied soldiers from 16 nations launched a historic assault on the Normandy beaches, codenamed Operation Overlord, as part of the largest amphibious operation in history. This momentous event, D-Day, marked a significant turning point in the war and in the 20th century. As we approach the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the world will once again focus on those historic beaches to honor the bravery and sacrifices of those who fought against tyranny.
Join The Jedburgh Media Channel, an official program of the Green Beret Foundation, as we recount these stories and inspire the next generation of Green Berets to serve with honor and distinction.
