My Father was to young to sign himself into the service, so at the tender age of 17... his Mother "signed" him into the navy.
He participated in the Normandy Invasion by driving the landing assault boats to shore with GI's.
Dad was at the Omaha beachhead. Only twice did he ever speak to me about that day. Once was to tell me what he actually did and once was to tell me he did not need to to see Saving Private Ryan that he all ready had lived that day.
