Thanks for posting. My Dad was in the first wave at Omaha beach and wound up in the Battle of the Bulge. Consider you walked. People don’t realize there were major campaigns as they fought thru Europe. 2 guys made it all the way in his platoon. Dad got 4 purple hearts from shrapnel. He never talked about WW2 much. Now goofballs mock our military in the Mid East. Sickening.
My uncle, Luther Broadway went all thru WWII in europe without a scratch except when crossing a fence one time. He was in Italy, Normandy the bulge etc. He was a little guy too. Had to try several times to get in. Got in on Dec. 8, 1941 finally.
Thank you to your Dad and family for the sacrifice.
