Donald (Don) was a member of the 101st Airborne (The Screaming Eagles) and parachuted into Normandy hours before the D Day invasion started. Don’s second jump was into the Netherlands as part of Operation Market-Garden where his unit fought for 72 days behind the German lines. After a short rest Don was again sent into combat at the Battle of the Bulge. He went on to fight with Operation Nordwind into Germany\, the Rhineland and Bavaria. Only eleven men from his unit of two hundred survived the war. After the War Don came home and worked as a contractor building homes.
