My cousin's grandpa (from his dad's side) was part of the D-Day battle on Omaha beach. He said Saving Private Ryan got it pretty right. His stories were incredible. Rest his soul he passed during the late 90's

By far, the best known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day on which the Battle of Normandy began — commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II
