Today is the anniversary of D-day. 
Remembering my Grandpa Joe today. He was one of the 82nd airbourne paratroopers who glided into the beaches of France at night so the enemy wouldn't hear us coming. But, he got shot in the head that night. They put a metal plate in his head and he went on to perform seven more missions.

He received 2 bronze metals, 2 purple hearts, and a silver star.
My grandfather was 1/2 Apache indian, and he fought with bravery for his country.

What an awesome man! My step-father was a World War II fighter pilot in the 55th airborne division. He was an awesome man. My sons adored him! Thanks for sharing your story!
