In reply to the discussion: 75 years ago my 20 year old dad was dropped in Normandy [View all]abbeyco

Thank you for sharing your Fathers story. My Dads involvement in WWII informed the rest of his life and had him let us kids know that he would not support any of our decisions to join the military to fight a rich mans war because he had already done that in WWII as well as Korea.
May the memories of all who gave their lives so selflessly on 6/6/44 live on in their families who paid a price which can never be repaid.

I've never gone there. My best friend has a house in France, not terribly far from Normandy.
