This topic was posted 6/6/2014, thanks DFG. We're getting the jump on it a day early, unlike the real jump, which was the paratroopers just after midnight on June 6th, 1944. Most of us weren't alive then, but regardless, don't believe we don't remember what everyone who was there did that day.

Link to another D-Day topic (link to post #10) which had already made it into the GGG, with most of the D-Day keyword (all but one topic), with a supplemental keyword (19440606) added in, duplicates out, also my sort knocks all the vetscor topics to the top (it's not that much of a problem, usually), so they're listed separately in the following post (#11).

We have a friend who was on a Canadian ship at Normandy, I think it was a destroyer. He’s 96 now, so he must have been 16 yrs old then. He remembers rescuing soldiers out of the water. My brother in law accompanied him to Normandy a couple of times, including the 75th anniversary. The French treated him like an honored guest.
