The Greatest Generation 6 June 1944

Sixty-eight years ago, in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, British, American, and Canadian forces commenced Operation Neptune, the Allied invasion of Normandy.
During the night, over 5,300 ships and 11,000 planes had crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy. 24,000 airborne troops, 160,000 British, American and Canadian troops and 195,700 Allied naval and merchant navy personnel successfully executed the largest amphibious invasion in the history of the world.... and Randall Made knives were there.

...so was my father. On June 6, I spoke with Francis Lameureux, sole surviving member of this 3/508 pathfinder stick, chalk 18 (third from left, back rank). He is mentally sharp and a good source for information. Bless all who participated.

Thanks for posting this.

Sometimes we forget what some have given up for our country and the world in general.
