Is the Identity of a Fallen D-Day U.S. Soldier Known?

So much time has passed that this will be very difficult. First, you need to determine which battle this man fell in. The exact location and date, as well as which group he was with. If the information isn't given during the program, try contacting the station that aired the program and get production information. Although it is stock footage, I would bet the original source of the stock footage is out there somewhere.

Another good source would be to contact VFWs. There are still many of these brave men and women still alive from WWII. Many of the Veterans of Foreign Wars still have reunions on dates that meant a lot to them. Like survivors of Pearl Harbor.

Good luck! Remember that famous picture of the GI kissing the girl in the street after WWII was over? It was on the cover of Life magazine, I believe, and it took something like thirty or forty years to find out who the people in the picture were.

BTW, you sound like a deeply caring person. If you'd really like to honor the fallen veterans, please see if you can help out at your local VFW. Some of these people are in their eighties and nineties. Many of the men and women that tell me their stories still cry when they talk about their fallen friends.

undergo in techniques that what we've and function finished required great bravery and sacrifice . Freedom is in no way unfastened yet given by using some who could pay dearly to insure that the subsequent era can stay unfastened from oppression. in the present day, those that volunteer to serve would die yet each and every person ought to be grateful that THEIR present to us --is they understand that their youngster/grand youngster and anyone else's relatives are useful and could be secure. Too undesirable such fairly some interior usa fail to attain that few countries interior the international have self assurance that their inhabitants is it particularly is splendid source.. background exhibits that failure to be vigilant and shield the country courts disaster. Peacefull co-existence is far greater suited than conflict yet NO u . s . a . survives until it stands jointly against those that for regardless of reason, look for to usurp or wreck. we ought to constantly all pause in awe of those that have fallen and persons that volunteer to serve in the present day...They shield the residing and the subsequent era...

I' m not sure but bless you for wanting to find out and honor him.

From the wife of a vet and a granddaughter of a WWII vet. The best in your search!

As usual, he'd be called "The Unknown Soldier".
