WWII Battlefield Return : Heroes return to Normandy 74th DDAY Anniversary

Heroes Return To Normandy: Video Highlight

June 1, 2018 the Best Defense Foundation took 8 WWII Veterans back to Normandy where they fought.

Dick Klein - 101st Airborne Division
Francis Turner - 17th Armored Engineer Battalion of the 2nd Armored Division
George Ciampa - 607th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company
Jack Myers - 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion
Jack Foy - 347th Infantry Regiment, 87th Division
Boris Stern - 424th Infantry Regiment, 106th Division
George Smilanich - 67th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division
Clinton Riddle - 325 Glider Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division

While in Normandy, we visited the Brittany American Cemetery. It was a solemn time for all of us as we looked out at the sea of white crosses that represented so many heroes who lost their lives way too young. While we all stood in silence, Jack Foy began to speak. His words left us all speechless and so proud to be American. Watch the video to hear it!

Please enjoy watching their marvelous return back to France.
