The strange thing that people don’t seem to understand. Is that Freedom is never free. You have to pay a price for freedom. And that price is payed in the life’s blood of others for our freedom.
Never forget! Here in Florida there have been numerous stories of younger people in high school and college documenting the heroic stories from the brave gentleman (as well as ladies) who were in WWII in either the Pacific or European theater. Sadly, there are not too many of these heroes left as the youngest are now in their mid to late ’90s and most over 100.
It’s 79 years…I didn’t really understand the invasion until I took military history. I have a copy of “Der Laengste Tag” (“The Longest Day”) and of “Saving Private Ryan”, and they are the closest thing to being there.
MY Father in Law "AL " North Africa , Italy , France , Battle of the Bulge ,Land Mine his eye knock out of its socket put back in stitched up REFUSES purple heart the help liberate concretion camps comes home marries and sleeps under the Bed for almost a year . Rest in Peace Your Duty Is Done
When I asked Uncle Joe, he said he was just 2nd wave & he spent most of it in the field hospital. He got home for r&r the same day that his MIA telegram came.
My Dad was in a B-24 Liberator as a flight engineer and waist gunner. My Uncle Oran was in the 3rd Armored Spearhead division as infantry with tanks. My Uncle Walt was in the graves unit across France. Uncle Richard was navy and in the Battle of the Coral Sea when he was 17. Quite the participation of which I admired them all. Great examples as men, also as a young boy.
My dad was in both the European and Pacific theaters. He was in the invasion of North Africa, the invasion of Sicily, the invasion of Italy, then his outfit was shipped to India, Burma, and China.
The young French male customs agent is giving the elderly American gentleman a hard time at Charles de Gaulle Airport. The elderly gentleman tells the young man, “The last time I came to France, I did not have this much trouble!” “And when was that?, monsieur.” “The 6th of June 1944.”
My dad entered the service in February 1942 and graduated from Airborne School at Ft Benning in August. He joined the 82nd Airborne and was in A Company, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He was in North Africa and jumped in Sicily, Italy and D-Day. He was wounded three times and was in the Battle of the Bulge. He was just a private but made it. Home alive in ’45.
