That's pretty impressive, 91. My Dad and his two brothers served during WWII, but none of them were a part of the invasion of Normandy. They were all fortunate enough to survive the war but, like so many other WWII vets, have since moved on to their Eternal Reward.

I remember Reagan's speech at Normandy on the 40th anniversary of D-Day as if it were yesterday. Hard to believe it was 30 years ago tomorrow and that Reagan died 10 years ago today.

Here is his speech at Normandy, June 6, 1984:

Iona there surely aren't many remaining ... My grandfather died in 2010 but in 2006 was able to travel to DC on an Honor Air flight to see the WW2 memorial. Loved seeing it myself ... I was moved to tears.
