My brother was there but not in first wave. Uncle and cousins in first wave. One was in 101st airborne, captured when he hit the ground. Came home year later weighed 100 lbs. Uncle fought with Patton to Bastonge, froze his feet. My brother never came back.
I was wondering who was older than I am, I had been thinking about it a couple days ago. I'm from California so my relatives were in the Pacific although I did have a step-father who was wounded in North Africa.
