It was on Modern Marvels: D-Day Tech. He was in the Navy and was one of the first people on Omaha Beach. His job was clearing beach obstacles to make it possible to land vehicles on the beach.

So, I thought that was pretty cool.

*The guy's been dead for over 20 years now. He had Hodgkin's Disease.

That is teriffic!

It's pity that he wasn't able to see it.

Sounds like he was a true hero and patriot!

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

After V-E Day he served in the Pacific, and if I'm not mistaken, he was called back up during the Korean War.

My other grandpa, the one on my dad's side, served on the USS Iowa in WWII.
