Sam Elliott, known for *A Star Is Born* and *The Big Lebowski*, recently appeared on a PBS special honoring World War II heroes. The program focused on selfless soldiers like Sergeant Ray Lambert, who faced unimaginable horrors on D-Day.

Elliott retold Lambert’s story with powerful emotion, capturing the gravity of the moment. Lambert shared how the only thing that kept him going was knowing, “his men needed him.”

Despite the danger, Lambert focused on his training to survive. He emphasized the importance of honoring those who didn’t make it, saying, “we must tell their stories” and recognize their bravery.

This heartfelt tribute serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals.
