My father, Paul Kendall, was a First Sergeant in the 110 Field Artillery of the 29 th Division, that landed on Normandy Beach during the D-Day Invasions. If there was a military show on TV which referenced the war he would sometimes cry causing my mother to turn off the television.
In his honor, I made the trip back to France, and laid flowers on a stone memorial which had been placed on the beach, 45 years after the landing. It marked where his unit and many others came on shore.
He was not just a loving and caring father, he was a very brave man who never forgot, the men he lost. I am honored to be his daughter.
