My uncle was 20 or 21 on the 5th of June 1944 and on 6th jumped into Normandy with the 101st Abn Div "Screaming Eagles ". May he RIP and all who gave the ultimate sacrifice. If I recall correctly , he told me he landed right at the edge of the area the Germans had flooded and buried his boots in a foot of mud . It took him 2 or 3 days to find his unit and he shook with fear the entire time he was lost until he got reunited .
