My Father was in the combat engineers. They landed at Utah Beach and ended up as part of the Army of Occupation. I have photos of them playing the 82nd Airborne in football at the Berlin Polo Grounds.
This was July 1945. The crowd was over flowing. Eisenhower and Zhukov were both there.
Nice. It hurts some to realize our history goes untaught and the people that knew the men who made it are disappearing. “Lest we forget”.
