Listen "BONUS: Interview with a D-Day Veteran"
Episode Synopsis
Here is a conversation I had with Mr. Al Sipple for another project I was working on a couple of years ago. At 17 years old, he found himself part of the first wave at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, as a Higgins Boat operator. I decided to share it again here in honor of the 80th anniversary of D-Day. https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
