My father was an eighteen year old when he landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day. He has recalled many incredible moments. Too numerous to mention here.

I just bought a book entitled Normandy: The Real Story (How Ordinary Allied soldiers defeated Hitler) by Brig. Gen. Denis Whitaker, et al.

It uses archival data, oral histories and new interviews.

"It was [their] valor, their endurance, and their ability to adapt that won the battle of Normandy and launched the liberation of Western Europe."

It must really be something when you guys talk to them and they talk about it. Please give them my thanks and pass on my little paragraph to them if possible.
