D-Day 44
A few months ago i sent about 25 dvds to various membersof the BB.These were rare copies of newsreel , and other,footage of the period of the D-Dy landings in june 1944.I have now just completed a 40 minute video about a character, he really is a very interesting person! He and his sons have ,over many years,traced and bought a modest number of US army military vehicles.All are from the 1944 period.These he has rebuilt to a very high standard and they make a nice display. Most years he takes them to Omaha beach to meet up with the US Army vets ,sadly fewer each year! As previously, if you would like a copy then please let me know. With special thanks to Chet and Charles for getting me back on the Forum.regards. Derek Bournemouth UK.

Re: D-Day 44
Sign me up Derek, My dad is a WWII vet and a fan of yours since that DVD you sent previously.
My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life.
At school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I said “happy" and they told me I didn’t understand the question.
I told them they didn’t understand life.

Re: D-Day 44
I want to also thank you. My Dad is also a WW 2 Veteran. He was a Combat Engineer and was in the Europe....including N.AFRICA......SICILY.....ITALY.....SARDINIA.....AUSTRIA . Our family also lost an Uncle the very last week of the war as did so many other families in the world.
We really want to thank you for taking the time with the DVD. Though his health is somewhat declining his long term memory is functional and this certainly brought back memories. Please also keep me on your list for this new DVD.
