I refrained from writing too much as it made the pictures too small.

At first when I saw this display at the Action Outfitters Archery and Gun Shop in Melbourne,FL I thought WOW look at all the Rifles. Herb the owner was very gracious to tell me the story of his father( I think he knew I wasn't going to leave until he did) who was a First Sargeant with the 29th 116th on D-DAY.

Like most of the men of that era his dad did not speak much of the war and what they did, to what I believe save the world from a few evil men.

I have tried to blow up the map so we can read some of the important statistics, the battle related stories ,accomplishments and some of the lighthearted tales while on R&R.

The drawings are also really cool. Without this map (found under his fathers bed after his passing) we would probably not have this unique look into that historical past that is D-DAY.
