508th PIR...quite a legacy. Do you know how many combat jumps he had?
I'm not sure. He jumped at Normandy. The 508th got scattered everywhere and he was one of the few from the 508th who went into Sainte-Mère-Église to try and reconnect with others from the 508th. He said he saw the paratrooper hanging from the roof of the church and just assumed he was dead.
He also jumped into Holland for Operation Market Garden and fought for the Nijmegen bridge.
