WWII vet goes AWOL from nursing home for D-Day events, lands in Normandy
An 89-year-old Second World War veteran told he could not attend today’s D-Day events in France went AWOL from his care home and was found 12 hours later in Normandy with comrades police have confirmed.

The unnamed veteran decided to disregard his carers’ orders, put on his medals under his raincoat and set off to join events on the beaches of Northern France for the 70th anniversary of the landings.

Good for him. Showing the same fighting spirit that won the day all those years ago. He deserved to be there.

It was his doctor that said he couldn't go. Maybe they thought it would be too much for him :-)

Fair play to him anyway. His friends said they'll see him home safely in a few days.

I agree.....I think the bigger question, is why didn't anyone volunteer to take the man and any other vets like him to the D-day event?

I have the greatest respect for the "greatest generation "

These were REAL men that believed in honor , self-sacrifice and the belief that there was good and evil in the world (there is)

I could never express the admiration I have for veterans
