I am the very proud daughter of Howard Thomas Cusic, who landed at Omaha Beach with the 2nd Battalion, 116th Regiment, 29th Division and fought through to the Battle of the Bulge. I am now learning more about my Dad and D-Day, as my 11 year old son is doing his final report required for graduation on D-Day. My Dad never talked much about his tours of duty, but was a decorated soldier who fought without question or hesitation in the name of his country. Sadly, my Dad passed away after a 10 year battle with Parkinsons Disease in August of 2002. I miss him every day and will be so incredibly proud of this amazing man. With all the love heaven will allow. I love you Daddy! Darb.

America, yes we are grateful for your sacrifice. I am French and I am Jewish. I am only 30 and have not lived the war, but I am forever thankful to what America did to save us from Nazi Germany. America, France thanks you. Romain PICARD

As a three year old boy in my village of Portesham I watched in awe at the numbers of troops, armoured vehicles, transport trucks who moved all day and night on June 1st through 2nd. The noise and vibration, the smell of kaki paint, cosmolene and exhaust will never leave my memory. As they moved towards the port towns of Weymouth and the docks at Portland for the D-Day embarkation and subsequent landings. I remember my mother and the other women's concern as we waved them off. I would dearly love to find out which regiments or brigades were stationed in Portesham during the pre-D-Day build up. Any contacts would be most welcome. Neil Macdonald

We owe the men of D-Day and their families a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. I can only promise that their sacrifice will never be forgotten by any member of my family. We visit the D-Day site as often as we can to pay our respects and will certainly be there this year. Williams Peter

Magnifique travail sur le terrain, des prises de vues superbes, un suggestion : mettre une légende sous chaque photos, il vous reste encore du travail; photographier les stèles marquant les emplacements des terrains d'aviations, les emplacements des base de V etc.... Assez de suggestions ce que vous avez fait est magnifique, je connais bien le Cotentin pour séjourner à Revenoville de quatre à cinq mois par an. Amicalement, Yves passionné des évènements de juin 1944. Yves GUIOT

What a lovely story about Ernst P. Doucette. My Dad was in the war landing at Utah with the 101st but what most impresses me about these men was here were people that had the war dropped on them and performed so very well in the war and then in life. It is so tragic that they and all that died had to witness this. Wilber, Doug

Congratulations for a magnificent website which honors the American liberation of France and the commencement of the defeat of the German Nazi domination of the world. You have superbly created not only a wonderful memorial to the Americans who suffered and died in the invasion of Normandy, but you have made available to potentially millions of people the opportunity to visit your site and to know about the sacrifice and glory of one of mankind's most important actions for a better world for everyone on earth.

I am the son of Leonard Horowitz, one of the soldiers you interviewed for the book. I am ordering this book for my father as he does not use the internet. I would appreciate it if you could sign the book and inscribe it to him. He met you during the dedication of the monument in Bedford, VA. He has been told that his interview and a picture appear in your book. Thank you for undertaking this project and preserving the histories of brave men like my father who oppossed agression and tyranny. Horowitz, Don

My father landed at Utah Beach, along with Simmon Parker, one of the 17 comanche code talkers. When I visited Normandy in 1984 a french woman asked if we were americans. When our group said Yes, she said "Thank you for all you did for us". Vive la France! Stahlerg George - 4th Infantry Division, 4th Signal Corps.

D-DAY DORSET. I am trying to find any members of Big Red One who were stationed/camped (even waited overnight in June 44 as the lanes were full of men and vehicles) near DORCHESTER, DORSET. In particular the areas of Bockhampton, Stinsford, Kingston Mauward, Puddletown/Puddletown Forest and Thorncombe Woods. We are keen to contact anyone who was there or who can remember anything of the area. We are getting desparate for help. Many thanks. Claire Kendall-Price. |
