It is easy to read even the most detailed of accounts of history’s great events and still never grasp the significance of them. The only way to really do that is to see them first hand. In episode 6 of the Ordinary Heroes Podcast, Ron Eckberg shares an overview of Normandy, France and the D-Day beaches as he saw them during his two visits when he walked “Where Heroes Walked”.

Where Heroes Walked

Historian Stephen Ambrose appropriately described World War II as “history’s greatest catastrophe”. But from the smoldering rubble of that war there emerged amazing stories of ordinary men and women doing extraordinary deeds of valor, sacrifice, and heroism in the midst of extraordinary times. 

Today, over 80 years later, there are still such stories being unearthed, stories that need to be told.  Such is the purpose of Ron Eckberg’s Ordinary Heroes podcast. You will hear stories that you will most likely not have heard before, stories that will inspire, educate, and hopefully challenge you to help in this effort to keep alive the memory of what the Greatest Generation did to keep the world from succumbing to the madness of those who would seek to rule it. 

Ron Eckberg is the “proud son of a World War II combat veteran”. Join him as he brings new stories of man’s greatest conflict in the Ordinary Heroes Podcast.
