    99 year old Felix Maurizio and other veterans of the invasion return to the beaches of Normandy. It's a video story. Very touching.

      Interesting.

      My Dad’s brother was there and got injured on D-Day. He wasn’t destined for the beach, he was a machinist’s mate on an LST which got hit in the water.

      That was his only day of action. He convalesced in England for a while and was sent home.
