I am proud to say my Dad was in the 29th and he served his Unit and Country proud that day. He and I talked about that D-Day only once and then not until I returned from Vietnam. On some occasions he would laugh about when he was wounded in other areas of his campaign but he never wanted to talk about June 6 but the one time.

My dad served on the USS Maryland in the Pacific and it was the same here. He never talked to me about it until I got back from Viet Nam. Some of the things he told me were pretty horrific, guess he figured I could handle it then. Too bad he is gone now I would like to talk to him some more about it.
