Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fred Morgan, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment and D-Day veteran who was with the 82nd Airborne Division as a medic during World War II, talks with active duty soldiers about his experiences in the war. One story that was shared was when he was helping a fellow soldier on the battlefield and a Nazi tank rolled up on them. "I thought for sure we were dead," said Moragan. "But he popped his head out, looked at me, looked at (the injured soldier), and went back inside and continued on his way." Morgan, who was a staff sergeant in the war, was later commissioned. He got out of the Army and joined the Air Force, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He is 90 years old.

On June 6, Task Force 68 walked through the battle fields of La Fiere and learned about the heroic acts of the men who captured the bridge of La Fiere, ultimately allowing for the landings of the beaches of Normandy to succeed.

Task Force 68, which is made up of paratroopers from U.S., Germany, France, Holland, and United Kingdom, is in Normandy, France to commemorate the 68th annivesary of D-Day.
