The following
is from my wife, Cam Gentry, concerning "the good war," which is
World War II. That is the war that many leftists supported “Country Joe” in
Moscow:
On
D-Day in memory of my father:
“My father, Merle Allen Gentry, landed on Omaha Beach during
the D-Day invasion. He was very young, 20, as so many were and one of only two
survivors from his ship. He advanced through Europe, took part in the Battle of
the Bulge and returned home amazingly physically uninjured. He spoke very
seldom about the war, but he did tell me once, he hoped his grandchildren would
remember his part in this war and be proud of his service. It would have
pleased him to know that loved ones and strangers were remembering him on this
day.”
