Another Birthday to Remember...

My dad, he passed away 15 years ago, was born on June 7th. In 1944 as a birthday present he got to land on the beach in Normandy during the second day of the invasion of Europe.

He never talked much about the war. I can't help but wonder what he thought that day as a 19 year old GI. I am sure much of the carnage from the first days landings was still evident. He must have wondered what was going to happen to him.
