SAMWolf, thank you for this marvelous tribute to those involved in D-Day on Omaha Beach. I remember that day, June 6, 1944, like it was yesterday (no, I'm not a veteran, I was just a little kid) and it always brings a tear or two and a thrill when I read the stories of all those heros. Thank God for our outstanding military.

You're welcome jtill. My Father-in-law is visiting and he started the after dinner conversation with:

"Fifty-nine years ago today..." He was one of the Coast Guardmen running the troops in the first wave onto Omaha Beach in and LCVP.

Fascinating conversation, tonight.
