Re: D-day
very important day for all generations.
We must all appreciate their sacrifices. As I appreciate our soldiers, all of them. Current, retired and those we have lost. I thank my lucky stars for what they did for our country. I have heard so many stories from the few I personally know and knew. The greatest generation!!!!! |

Re: D-day
I lost an uncle, Maurice, somewhere on that beach, that day.
I just double checked.....my uncle survived Normandy, with the 4th Infantry Division....However, he later was killed in Belgium. 23 years old.

Re: D-day
My great uncle was in the "Band of Brothers". He was Warren "Skip" Muck played by the actor Richard Speight. He made it through D-day fine but died months later outside of the town of Foy during the Battle of the Bulge. This is a really nice video that Richard made when talking to a class, talking about how he researched his role and contacted my family:
