you're a day early
My grandfather was on that beach. He was one tough son of a bitch.
Not one word of this in the local papers or news sites today. [sad2]
I guess I was expecting too much
Bless him. I think all of them were pretty much tough SOBs. It's a shame that 13,000 dropped bombs missed the German fortifications due to low clouds, haze, etc, otherwise, it might have been much easier for the allies to storm Omaha.
My Grandfather was in the front lines in Normandy on D-Day. He go blasted in the stomach with a machine gun from a Nazi. Thrown in the dead pile. One of his friends was walking by and heard him moaning. They dragged him out and he ended up making it. Looked like he had 8 or 9 bellybuttons and definitely had what we now know is PTSD(back then they just called it shellshocked).
Wild. Glad he made it.
