re: D-Day thoughts in a letter to my grandmother from my grandfather .. dated June 13, 1944

Thanks so much -- I'm not old but tech challenged.

My aunt/uncles held an estate sale after their deaths. I came across a "My Sunday Missal" that was given to soldiers .. I thought it was his but after further inspection, discovered that it was his brothers.


He had several medals that are now in a shadow box .. I know that one was a Distinguished Flying Cross.

It's an Amazing story really... So much to see and deduce from both the photo and history documentary.

I believe that Spitfire were used because Naval Operations were under British Command, while Land forces were under control of US. So shoreline and beach implements were under british observation.

in "Jack's 45th" (Infantry History Book) Jack - Artillery Officer - His brother was a Spitfire pilot killed in combat in the earlier part of the war..

BTW- I have added these photos and written history to my museum. 4 is self explanatory, I wonder what the "X" significance was?

Invasion Stripes, Leather US Jacket, Mae West, headgear. awesome paint job...
