My late uncle. He was a German prisoner of war and a survivor of the Death March. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star medal for his services. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/YYNpO4b.jpg) That’s badass! I couldn’t imagine what it must have been like to arrive on the beaches or those that parachuted in with the 82nd and 101st

I doubt those gliders were a picnic either. Those young men had to be terrified till they landed and some crashed.
They have one in the WWII museum.

Those guys were among the most heroic guys in history. What they did is unimaginable and when asked about it later the comments were almost all about doing their job or duty and looking out for the guy next to them. Of course it can't happen but everyone of them, with a few exceptions, are deserving of The Medal of Honor. Never in Modern Times has there been such a collection of bravery. This.

My great uncle fought with Patton. He died before I was born. But my grandfather said he told him Patton didn’t take any prisoners.

If anyone watched the ceremony this morning it was sad that there were only 300 survivors of that day in attendance. They also stated that there were more Canadians in that landing than any of the other Countries.

Your great uncle and my great uncle may have known one another as he also fought with Patton in both Africa and Europe. My great aunt is still alive at 96 years old. She threw away a Nazi flag my uncle brought home. She “wasn’t having that Nazi crap in her house”.

The President just introduced a 98 yr old Vet that won 4 purple hearts and several silver stars. They were a remarkable group of American men. It was also said of the first wave of landing craft 98% of the troops died on that beach. It fell to 80% died from the second wave. They charged straight into the face of death.God Bless those hero's!
