I liked the documentary, but I want you to know I understand your reply. My father turned down several offers by me to take him to Normandy even omniscience’s the 50th anniversary. He was d-Day+6. He went through France and Germany often alone counting enemy lines. they called him a count not reconnaissance. He didn’t talk much about the war, but one day at a family bar-b-q he opened up to his great grand children. i sat there glued to his stories. I wish i had record it.

Best wishes!

My father was with Patton’s Third Army in Europe...
I noticed when I was a child, he never talked about the war...I wondered why...

After Vietnam, I know why...

Best wishes to you also...:^)
