(Army Master Sgt. Joshua Horsager) Pointe du Hoc is one of the D-Day
landings for our lineage for

00:05.250 --> 00:10.050
the 2nd Ranger Battalion. So, we came out here basically to reenact the the climbing of

00:10.050 --> 00:14.240
the cliffs and to pay tribute to our -- our
veterans that climbed these cliffs

00:14.240 --> 00:15.800
75 years ago.

00:17.420 --> 00:19.660
We've got two groups of Rangers from

00:19.660 --> 00:24.180
2nd Battalion. Some of us are in period
uniforms that replicate the uniforms

00:24.180 --> 00:28.050
and the gear that were worn on D-Day, uh,
75 years ago, and then some of

00:28.050 --> 00:31.920
our guys are in our modern-day kit, so
they're in here replicating what we do

00:31.940 --> 00:35.920
now ,and we're in here as a paying homage -- tribute to the past.

00:39.200 --> 00:43.260
It's very -- it's very emotional, just kind of a surreal experience, you know, it's something that,

00:43.260 --> 00:47.010
you know, we've read about, like I said,
for 20 years I've read about the boys on

00:47.010 --> 00:50.610
Pointe du Hoc, and so to be able to do
that today just means a lot. It's a very

00:50.610 --> 00:53.930
very humbling experience.
