I was in junior high (‘61, I believe) when I got a copy of Cornelius Ryan’s The Longest Day. My Dad spent the war in the Pacific but his best friend, “Turk”, was airborne and jumped in on D-Day. Ryan’s epic account opened my understanding to just what an incredible undertaking the invasion was and the sacrifice made by these brave men to begin the liberation of Europe.

I remember them with gratitude on this day.
