Hello Fred, seems like a zillion years ago we met on Omaha Beach, during the 60th commemoration of D-Day. I remember the sun rising over a misty but calm sea, the wide beaches mostly desolate of people... Will be there again this June, for the 63rd commemoration. Check out my new website: over 1.300 pages on the US Paratroops during WWII. Not just their Stories, but massive Menu's about their Gear, Personal Items, Rations, Helmets, Songs, Lyrics, Databases, Patches etc. The biggest Online Scrapbook and Visual Database, and free for all. Lets make sure WWII is remembered by generations to come. pararesearchteam.com LEST WE FORGET OUR LIBERATORS !
