Sasquatch Chronicles

Project Vigil: D-Day 2014, The saluting boy on Omaha beach

I want to thank Laurie for sending this to me. At the 6:20 mark, the video shows a dispatch from the government to the family letting the family know their son had passed away. My family still has the dispatch, I am not sure how it ended up online. This was my uncle who was a paratrooper and was shot down after jumping from the plane. I never knew him but his bravery and courage is the makeup of all of our men and women serving in the military. My father who has since passed away was the one who received the dispatch and he would be on the edge of tears talking about the day he got that letter. It was rare to see my dad show emotions but I could tell it really broke him up inside.
