My grandfather was in D-Day.

His observations:

1) The Sea was red from the blood.
2) Body parts EVERYWHERE.
3) Crapping his pants from the shelling
4) Not eating or drinking for 18 hours.
5) Taking NO German prisoners..killed them All
6) Saving Private Ryan wasn’t even close to the real thing
7) If he survived the landing, he figured he would survive the war. He did.

Yes, thank you to all the vets including my Uncles and my father. My favorite Uncle, a Captain of Marines, missed D-Day because he was already discharged due to injuries received in the Philippines. God bless them all and I hope they all end up in heaven.
