My dad was in Supply and spent 3 days waterproofing trucks, tanks and jeeps that landed on D'Day. He came across on day 3 to move the supplies off the beach to units. He was on those trucks tossing food to the starving Parisians 5 days after the Germans left. Yep he was in Battle of the Bulge too delivering engine parts and some guy was trying to drag them off the trucks to have them fight but my dad (a Master Sergeant) ignored the orders and drove back to Paris. When the war ended he was asked to form a swing band to entertain the troops and he did til late 46 when he came home.
