Here's a grouping that I posted in another thread but it seems fitting here. Maybe if we get enough in this thread we can get it pinned?

Anyway I'd like to remember all the soldiers (on both sides) that died or went through hell on this day in 1944.

These items all came from a shoebox marked "Uncle Rob Stuff" and are attributed to a 501st PIR paratrooper that made the jump early in the morning on June 6, 1944. Here are some of the items that he returned from the war with including his signal "Cricket" from D-Day.
