USAREUR seeks to connect veterans

of D-Day with connections to today's Soldiers

United States Army Europe is seeking information about Veterans of the D-Day assault forces with family or personal connections to today’s Soldiers.     We are especially interested in learning of Veterans who served on June 6, 1944 with assault forces of the 1^st, 4^th, or 29^th Infantry Divisions; the 82^nd or 101^st Airborne Divisions, or the Rangers of D-Day with a direct personal or family connection to a man or woman who has served with one of those same U.S. Army units in the current Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

We are asking for information only from those who wish to voluntarily provide us this information.   We will personally contact the Veteran and Soldier to ensure they do not object to sharing their story with the public.

Scroll down to find a form you can return by email to  d-day@hq.hqusareur.army.mil  or fax to international phone number 49 62 21 57 7129.

 We deeply appreciate your help to tell the stories of the Veterans of the airborne, glider and amphibious infantry assaults of June 5 and 6, 1944 and the links between those Veterans and Soldiers serving in those storied units today.
