Yeah my friend's grandpa is alive today. Also I remembered my great uncle fought in WWII, but I'm not sure if he fought on D-Day. He was a pilot I believe.

Nope but my friend's grandfather fought in the air or was a paratrooper that fought as part of the same attack!

My grandfather is still alive. But I can't even imagine how nasty it was, him being a medic and all. He had to help people with limbs blown off, bullet holes, everything.

Are your refering to the P-47 "Thunderbolt" (which is a fighter), or the B-17 "Flying Fortress" (which is a bomber)? You seem to have combined the names.

My great-grandad was at D-Day but I'm not sure where, all I know is that he was in a landing craft and everyone aboard it apart from him was killed when a shell hit it. He said most of them were decapitated, and it was the most horrific thing he'd ever seen.
