“For those of us who were there, we will never forget,” D-Day Veteran Bob Sales wrote in a speech his wife read during the ceremony. “But we owe it to those who never left Normandy to ensure that it never happens again. It was one of the worst things I’ve seen in my entire life.” Sales, 91, served with the Virginia National Guard’s Company B, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, on D-Day. He was the only one of 30 men from his landing craft to survive the invasion.
