That's an awesome story. My father in law was a parachutist(?) with the 101st Airborne when they dropped into Normandy. He never talked about it all that much. Kinda like when my husband doesn't talk much about Viet Nam either. And my son doesn't talk much about his 3 tours to Iraq all that much (besides some of the good things that came out of it).....and now today he just left for his first mission in Afghanistan. They all have some pretty bad memories....
