My grand cousin was on the third wave of infanty for the normandy invasion. He was with the 29th ID and was killed when an artillery shell landed a direct hit on his transport ship, killing everyone onboard.

my grandpa was with the US navy on the USS topeka, he was the guy on the anti-aircraft gun that moves it up and down. he was a guam and then later on anti-shipping duity around the Japanese mainland.
