D day

Anyone got any relatives still living that were serving at the
time? Very humbling watching the reports on TV.

No relatives still breathing who served, though have met lots of
veterans who jumped into France prior to D Day to take the
bridges and cause general confusion behind German lines. A very
humbling experience listening to their escapades. What they went
through makes modern military operations conducted by western
powers look like nothing more than a school playground fight.
Every man an Emperor.

I don't really no any of my relatives. I know some aunties on my
Scottish side, and 3 cousins on my German side. I often wonder
what both sides of my family did during that time.

Incredible generation of humans!
Nobody in my family served to my knowledge, but my respect goes
out to anyone who did.

Nope, but I did have a great grandparent who lost his foot in
WW1 at 16, he then spent his older age working in the poppy
flats in Richmond making them.
