Description
It has been nearly eight decades since Richard Rung landed in France on D-Day -- June 6, 1944 -- as a 19-year-old US Navy sailor, part of a massive amphibious invasion that broke through German coastal defenses in a key victory for Allied forces. He now lives in a suburb of Chicago with Dorothy, his wife of 75 years, but his memories of the violence and death he witnessed half a world away are still clear, and that distant day can still feel close at hand.
