Thanks for this. My Dad passed away three years and a couple of days ago.
He never talked about it...
All those that took the beaches on D-Day could have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. They could have been handed out like Chicklets. There was so many stories on untold heroism that day. Everyone that survived that hell hole and are alive today deserve all the respect that can be given. What they did that day and in the days following changed the course of history and we are reaping the benifits of their sacrifice and efforts. God bless each and everyone of them.
My Dad was in D-Day +8. He served in the battle of St. Lo and in the Battle of the Bulge. He lost his best friend in the war, but never talked much about it. He was like all the great men who served—he was just doing his duty. They were truly the greatest generation.
God bless all of these great heroes and the Moms on the homefront that kept their hope alive. When they came back, God blessed them with many children and I am one of them.
Day of Days.
