Need some help here. My wife's uncle jumped the night of "D" Day into the little town of Sainte-Mere-Eglise (go watch The Longest Day if this does not ring a bell) at the ripe old age of 19. It has only been in the past few years that he has been able to talk about it. Saw him yesterday and he is willing to be taped while he is interviewed. I need someone that knows what they are doing and can do a good job and that is just not me. He lives up in Sonora. Anybody know of someone that can do this?
I know a lot of his stories but he told me a new one yesterday. Apparently he was directed to stand guard in a barber shop. When he entered the building he saw another guy coming at him so he fired his Garand ( yes he jumped with a Garand and not a carbine) six or eight times at the guy …………………… it was a mirror.
Buy the way I took him into my basement and handed him one of my Garands. He really looked fondly at it. Only said two things. "It never let me down" and "I didn't realize how heavy it is!"
