This thread got me thinking of another guy who I knew growing up. Good friend of my dads that he worked with for years. They were both born 3 or 4 days apart in July 1924. Both were the same M.O.S. in the Navy, (radiomen), and both were aboard warships in the English Channel on D Day; and not too far apart IIRC. Never met each other until after the war when they both got hired at the same place. Sometimes when I think of my father and him it blows my mind to think about how many teenagers participated in D-Day and how many of them never saw their 20th birthday. Just think how many 18-19 year old guys were in those landing craft.
