Draggingtree Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 New York Post 96-year-old American is lone veteran to attend D-Day anniversary By Eileen AJ Connelly June 5, 2021 | 12:09pm | Updated Charles Shay was the only veteran at a ceremony in Carentan, where paratroopers landed in the early hours of D-Day, when the small French town marked the 77th anniversary of the epic World War II invasion Friday. He is also expected to be the sole representative of the more than 150,000 allied troops who landed on Normandy’s beaches at Sunday’s anniversary day ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer. The 96-year-old Native American from Indian Island, Maine, now lives in the country he helped liberate from the Nazis as a 19-year-old Army medic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Sep 23, 2022 By March 21st, 1945, the Battleship USS Texas had seen combat across the world. She had been present at the Allied invasion of North Africa, the landings at Normandy, and the invasion of southern France in Operation Dragoon and the landings at Iwo Jima. Despite that long service, she wasn’t done yet, and still faced one of the most dangerous operations of the war: the assault on Okinawa.
