My name is Ben Dover, I am a war veteran and I used to be in the 82nd airbourne division. The day before d-day (june 6th 1944) me and my friends, Ben Bennet, David Jackson and Micheal Santa Cruz were sent with the rest of the paras over Carnac in France, to land and take out a bunker based in Quiberon. As we were in the plane David took a team photo of us which I had animated after the war. When we jumped Ben's parachute failed and he fell to his death. Micheal Santa Cruz was killed in action shortly after the landing. David Jackson was killed in the siege of Berlin in 1945.

Its a bit mean isn't it making american paratroopers dropped into France go and land a few hours later on a British beach from a landing craft. (Re your previous contribution)
