2. I met two men who hit the beaches that day. They didn't speak of it much.

They were young men who had never left home before and were just trying to stay alive.

One of them, a friend of my employer, was persuaded by his daughter to give an interview to our PBS station a couple of years before he died and describe what is was like. I was able to get a DVD of that interview and give it to my boss.
