My
dad was a conscript who landed at Utah Beach as an infantry
replacement. He was a heavy machine gunner in a weapons platoon in M Company, 47th Infantry Regiment with the Ninth Division.
He’s been gone for awhile yet it’s good to remember him today as we celebrate the service of our own and allied veterans.
The most important veteran in my life - my pop - Howard Gaertner.
Location - a forward aid station somewhere in France immediately west of the Meuse River – September 1944.
Raising a toast to all of you who served.
