Ours might be the very last generation to even care that young...kids...--REAL "heroes" -- stormed these beaches on D-Day and laid it all on the line for future generations. Yes, without ever fully living.
If modern Hollywood did nothing else, at least Spielberg made 'Saving Private Ryan'. The shocking opening beach scene (filmed documentary-style) reminded us of the horror and sacrifice that was made.
'Band of Brothers' was also great (for those who may have missed it, produced by both Spielberg and Tom Hanks.)

The real mercy was granted by Hitler and Rommel. Hitler believed the invasion wouuld occue at Calais, not Normandy. Rommel was certain it was to be at Normandy but would not disregard his orders not to move his panzers and troops there. If he had, the allies would have been slaughtered.
