Just wanted to say thank you to my father who is 84 years old today (not in good health - may not see 85). A D-Day veteran - Omaha Beach; 29th Infantry; 116 Reg; Cav Recon. Also, his unit was the first into St.Lo. He says very little about his experience other than; it had to be done & wouldn't want to do it again. His grandchildren got a bit of an idea what he saw/did after seeing Pvt. Ryan - new resoect for grandpa.
