I have a great uncle who parachuted into Normandy on D-Day but I can’t find out anything about him.
I had a great uncle who was a bomber navigator. Earned a Silver Star. Not sure what for. When we were going through my dad’s effects, we found a news story with a photo of a Colonel presenting it posthumously to his parents at their home.
Keep looking , if you know what unit he was with like the 502nd or the 506 or 505 PIR you can narrow it down and you may find a manifest or Co. roster with his name, a lot of information was lost in a records fire back in the 50’s but there is still a lot out there. I had a guy over in France give me info on my Dad who was with the 101st at Carentan and Holland and The Bulge [remember the movie Band Of Brothers], he actually had a Co. roster from the 502 PIR with his name on it.
