Grandpa would've been 95 come this spring, but he passed away back in 2013. He was in the second wave on Omaha with the 29th ID.

Mine would have been 103 (he joined the Army in '36 and retired in '56). He passed in '91.

Happy birthday!
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
