Utah Beach, Normandy, June 6 1944. My 20 year old Dad, in LCT 2302 (the white one in the middle of the pic) delivered 238 Engineering Combat Battalion (ECB) Company C. WE know they left from Brixham (Devon, SW England) on June 5th.

I know I have posted this before, but it bears repeating.

Thanks, that is good photo and worth sharing again, especially given you personal history.

The men (and women) who came of age between, say, 1935 and 1950 EARNED the right to be called "The Greatest Generation", and I'll have no truck with anyone who says otherwise.
