Sgt George Cross also went in with the pathfinders before D-Day, and at Market Garden. 100 years old this January. Here he is saluting PDJT at the 75th:

The man I mentioned was hit by a mortar and somehow his dog tags ended up on a dead soldier. The military notified the family that he was dead. When he got stateside, he called home. They didn’t believe him, thinking it was a cruel joke. They hung up on him, but when he walked in the door a few days later they believed him.
I’ve seen his obituary. Even though he’s still well and kicking.

I’ve seen a picture of the spot where he was hit my a mortar. It’s a McDonald’s parking lot.
