I once remember that my grandfather witnessed the downing of a B-17 bomber about 30 miles south of Bucharest, and he actually met the three airmen that survived jumping with the parachutes.
My grandfather said he was very impressed about them, and he tried to give them some money to help them , and they gave him a nice navigator wrist watch, with cronometer and several other functions that i forgot about..... even if the watch does not work anymore, i still lke to hold it sometimes and imagine what was it really like in a war... man, that is giving me the shivers...

I wish i could go to Omaha, GOld, Juno and Sword sometimes, and even in the Pacific, like Guadalcanal...
