Subject: [MV] Hi all
>Just a note to say thanks to all for making me, as a new list member, feel
>welcome.
>The responses to my question have been great. I'm sure some have been asked
>many times, but no one chided me.
>The Normandy thing sounds fun. It would be great for me to be able to take
>my step-father, but he's 81 and in poor health. He was with the UDT on
>D-Day. I think he landed on Utah beach. His unit was there before the main
>landing, destroying obstacles, etc. He saw Mil. Veh's. in the worst
>conditions and how they operated. He recently told a story of that day to
>me that may place him as the first of the "invaders" to reach the bluffs,
>and therefore the continent proper. That was something special, I think. He
>speaks of the amphibious vehicles and the other equipment and how it saved
>many. The horrors of that day always figure prominently in his tales,
>though.
>I think he saw it as raw as it can be.
>Anyway, sorry to ramble on so, just thought some might be interested in
>that info.
>Again, thanks to all
>Henry
