If you have...I started rewatching Band of Brothers. If you have not seen this series, you need to go and get it. My grandfather Morton was part of the 4th ID that landed at Utah Beach (the one not in Saving Private Ryan). Utah was not as not the meat grinder that Omaha was because of the 101st Airborne, E Company (aka the Band of Brothers). Their job was to take out the guns hitting that beach. The first time that I saw this, I completely started crying and Cindy had no idea why. It was because of these guys that my Grandfather did not have to go through what happened on Omaha.<br /><br />My Grandfather went from Utah, to Paris and through the Bulge and died at the Siegfried line, where fragments from a tree hit by a mortar gave him is mortal wound.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774825654612120198noreply@blogger.com
