Last year was the 75th anniversary of D-Day and we were camping in Edisto Island State Park and we went to this memorial and history thing at the USS Yorktown, a museum ship docked at Charleston harbor. They did a thing at the beginning where they had maybe 5 or 6 D-Day veterans talk about their experiences. One of them was
15 when he enlisted into the US Navy by lying about his age and stealing a birth certificate.
He had some guts to lie to the US Navy.

What's even more amazing is when you consider that those that fought were just boys, 18 and up but relatively young. They were tough men and their sense of duty was just incredible.

I agree with you here, many young men perished back then. True heroes and brave souls they were.
