Re SPR. On my top 10 list. But I simply cannot bring myself to watch the first twenty minutes. Too realistic and heart wrenching for me. My ex-wife’s father was in Dday. His boat capsized about 1/2 mile out from the beaches, in the first wave of troops. He almost drowned but was picked up later and the worst was over when he finally landed.

He lived and came back to marry and have 7 children.

I was proud to know him.
