August 3, 2024I’m continuing a blog on most days until mid 2025 following my father’s exploits and adventures during WWII. Each blog will represent what he and the men with whom he was fighting were doing 80 years ago on the exact day of the blog. Below are links to last month’s blogs:
- July 1, 1944 — Please send some candy
- July 6, 1944 — The men were training like dogs, while Phil was learning the value of hope in the ranks
- July 11, 1944 — Phil writes home, don’t use V-mail and send another package!
- July 20, 1944 — The intense training for the next D-Day carried on and approached its conclusion
- July 21, 1944 — The timing of the next D-Day was a secret no more
- July 27, 1944 — Phil writes home, “This darn war still don’t look too good!”
- July 29, 1944 — A horrific accident as one of the men is blown up and it could have easily been prevented (Part 1)
- July 30, 1944 — A horrific accident as one of the men is blown up and it could have easily been prevented (Part 2)
