Utah beach was a later much less hazardous landing. Sorry did not mean to take from the heroic survives of one of the Greatest battles of all of modern warfare. Thank you for you father's service he was a true American heroe for what he endured and then relate his experience to you! Bless him.

My Father was a tank commander Staff Sargent and rarely spoke of any of his war service until near his death.
