I was fortunate enough while stationed in Italy with the 173rd Airborne (yes, I know they did not participate in the Normandy invasion, nor were they even in WWII) to jump into a drop zone at St. Mere Eglise and then tour the Normandy battlefield, to include Pointe Du Hoc. One of the top ten coolest things I did while in uniform- just a kickass experience all the way around.
