I still just sit in amazement and horrible at this depiction of D-Day. Seeing the rest of the movie in a theater was a blur as I just sat there thinking "Could I do that?" I mean like a personal gutcheck.

Just simply amazing

2. I'm assuming that's the opening minutes of the movie -- the landing on the beach.
I could barely watch it in the theater. It was as if my dad were there retelling the story he'd told us in one of those rare times when he relived his experiences there.

3. Your father was there?
Wow, that's just amazing that you were able to hear those stories from someone who was there at such
a historical moment.

It sounds like your dad described the scene in great detail. I'm sure that was difficult for him.
