Here are some recent articles of interest that I found this week for U.S. Veterans. Enjoy!
We recently returned to Miami from Normandy France where we attended the 70th Anniversary of D-Day. The trip was fantastic! We were in attendance to take the audio/video oral histories of five World War II Veterans and I personally spoke many more as well. Hopefully those conversations will lead to additional oral histories. I would like to thank Bob Shelato, Rock Merritt, Norman Gaddis, Bill Byers, and Norman Sylvester for permitting their interview and taking the time to speak with me.
We met a lot of great contacts and military members from the 82nd Airborne, 101st Airborne, 1st Infantry Division, Rangers, and Navy Seals during our trip. Hopefully this will lead to many more preserved stories from Veterans of all backgrounds including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Here is a link to our photo album at St. Mere Eglise on June 6, 2014 for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day.
Thank you for reading (and sharing). Stay tuned for next week’s weekly review for U.S. Veterans.
