Story of Great Grandfather Robert Davis part of WWII Normandy invasion : theBRIGADE

: I thought you might enjoy hearing about the life of my Great Grandfather Robert Davis. He was part of the invasion of Normandy during WWII. On June 6, 1944 he was wounded 3 times. A random soldier saved his life and was one of the very few who survived that day. If it was not for that random soldier I would not be here! I attached his 3 page autobiography, a photo of him with my father and a few others of him. My deepest gratitude goes out to all of our military! KCCO

Awesome tribute, may god bless all who have served and are serving at this moment. My Father was AAF and I was a Marine, my GGF was a calveryman in the great army of the south. those that served on both sides of that conflict have my undying respect. We are all Americans and every service member deserves our respect and honor.

This is a great tribute to the veterans of WWII. but I was wondering about the last picture what is up with his grandsons rank on the sleeves its obviously wrong.

In regards to it hanging off? He was making a higher rank and my Great Grandfather was there for that 'ceremony'.

It's customary for someone to "tack" on your stripes when you make enlisted rank. It's simply just backed with tape and placed over the sewn on stripes during the ceremony.

Thank you. Without the men and women of our armed forces, our freedoms would be in jeopardy.

Thank you for sharing my Great Grandfather's story and thank you all to those that serve!
