It warms mine too. Almost brought tears to my eyes when I spotted it. It’s also heart-warming to read and hear reports about the heroes welcome they’ve gotten while over there. They richly deserve it.
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Mr. McMurran two years ago when he showed up for a tour at the military museum. He didn't say much about D-Day while he was there but there are a few videos of him talking about his training for and involvement in the events.
He was a very nice man and we enjoyed meeting him. Sadly, he passed away about 6 months later. Rest In Peace, Harold.
