DDay, liberating France

D-Day. Our friend Norwood. 101st first Airborne. Parachuted in... In the few days after D-Day, Norwood said he and a buddy chanced upon some bar in a small town. The patrons kept asking; did you capture this town, that town, some town over there? 'Oui' was the answer followed by a drink. By the time they had liberated half of France they were in poor shape when they walked out.
