Same for me. Actually, this entire forum seemed to have disappeared for the past 8 months.

Was in line at the market and seen this magazine from Time ,on the D-Day invasion, 65th anniversary edition. A little pricey but an excellent read.

Hi Mike -- you know it was just about now that our fathers were stepping off those landing craft into high tide on Dog Red. Contrary to the movies, there were still Germans in the bluffs and artillery fire still pelted the beach. It wasn't like the first wave the day before, thank God, but it wasn't a walk in the sun either.
I'm afraid I won't be making it to Normandy this year, also for health reasons, but our fathers and your father's buddies will certainly be in my prayers. I live peaceful and free in a beautful city thanks to their sacrifice. -- Gordon

Gordon: My name is Mike Richardson. My wife and I planned to be there this year but health problems arose. My father Eugene was in Company A of the 1st Battalion, 175th. He survived Purple Heart Hill only to be wounded later in August at Vire. However two of his very good friends in Company A did not survive Hill 108. John Gray from Maryland and Robert Alberts from New Jersey. Gray is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery. Alberts' family brought him home. If you can remember at the dedication of the Hill 108 Monument please say hello to Fran Sherr Davino and say a prayer for John and Robert . My father joined them in 1987.

65 years on...

Looking out over the dull gray Paris skies and watching the rain, I couldn't help thinking of a similar morning 65 years ago. And tomorrow, Europeans will be voting in parliamentary elections -- what a striking (and welcome) contrast. As unexciting as those elections may be, they are certainly better than shooting at one another!

Today there will be speeches and photo-ops galore, but I think that in all our minds will be quiet remembrance and grateful thanks. As I telegrammed (remember telegrams?) my Dad in 74: "glad you came then; wish you could be here now."

Bob-- thanks for the atlantikwall reference -- lots of good stuff in there. I've heard about Bradley addressing the 29th, but don't have any details, I'm afraid. There's nothing in my father's letters, but I'll keep my eye open for that and for the other units you mentioned as well. Best -- Gordon
