Poignant, Bruce.

My Dad, who was on the beach that day in France, called today from his hospital bed to wish me a Happy Birthday.
He is 90 years old and not long for this world.He was spending the day watching the TV coverage of the anniversary, and was very overcome with emotion as we talked.
It is something that has haunted him for 60 years.And he is very happy that my birthday is on the anniversary of D Day.He say's it means he will never forget it.I believe this was the last birthday wish I will ever get from him.
