My wife's grandfather, who lives nearby, was on one of the first boats to land on Utah Beach that day. He earned a Bronze Star and his first Purple Heart later that day, and later earned two more Purple Hearts. It's hard to describe the respect and gratitude I have for him and his fellow soldiers (hell, any US soldier at any time, for that matter). Nice post.
