Thanks to all those who served during D-Day. We can never repay them for what they did and sacrificed for us who lived on. I was around, but too young to serve at that time. My hat is off to all of them. Thanks again.

My grandfather who passed away in 1999 in Cody, WY, fought on D-Day and earned a Purple Heart. Served in the 8th Army I believe.

Wasn't the 8th Army the unit that the Band of Brothers movie series was made about?

Beats me.

My dad and his siblings keep telling me that my Grandpa was a part of group of soldiers who saved the Lipizzan Stallions (the one who can do almost human-like dancing) from destruction during the war in Europe.
