My uncle, who lived with my wife and I his last few years, landed on June 6, 1944 as part of the 29th on Omaha Beach. His service record reads like a travel guide- Sicily, North Africa, Normandy, Belgium, The Rhineland.

In honor of D-Day, I am reading Stephen Ambrose's Citizens Soldiers. This was truly our greatest generation.

Thanks for posting this thread.
