My brother in law Benny DeFuentes was there on the beach at Utah I think he in the second wave. Said he didn't want to go back was also in the parade of Paris he was driving the truck and when he saw all those girls climbing in the back he jump out and told the other guy to drive. Was captured crossing the Rhine and spent 6 months in a POW camp. Almost starved to death he said but a German Sgt. Liked him and would sneak sandwiches in to him. They lived on carrot juice for some time. Came out real thin and never put the weight back on. Be sure to walk the beach and see what these guys had to face. I have always wondered why they would land at one of the most defended places on the coast. It cost a lot of lives doing it that way. But Generals were gung HO and wanted to make a name for themselves regardless of the cost in lives. While touring the cemetery be sure to go though the German cemetery too these guys were just there because they would have been shot if the weren't that was one that should never have happened except for a few nuts at the top who wanted to rule the world.
