My uncle was scheduled to be on the beach on D-Day, but due to luck good or bad, his landing craft was sunk under him on D-Day. He was rescued, but eventually sent on to Europe with the 2nd Army.
He didn't talk much about the War. I don't know what he did, or what he felt about his entire unit sinking into the English Channel. I imagine that was pretty rough.
His generation dealt with a lot, and didn't talk or complain much.
This is for you on D-Day, Uncle Bob.-greenman

Trump told the German Chancellor,
"Tomorrow is the anniversary of D Day. Ha ha ha! Guess that didn't work out so well for you did it?"
The Chancellor iummediately corrected him, saying Germany looked forward to the ridding of Hitler and the Nazi party as much as anybody. D Day was their liberation day too.
How does it feel to have the stupidest president ever?
My dad fought in WWII too. He was stationed in Iceland, and fought on the mainland.
He never spoke about it. Never. One of his friends was wounded on Omaha Beach. He had a Nazi flag signed by all the surviving members of his company. Only once did he take it out from the closet to show us. He never spoke about the War. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
