My granduncle Albert was in the 101st and jumped in at D-Day.
In the summer of 2020, noticed a WW2 vet at Lowe's with a 101st cap on. We got to talking. I mentioned uncle Albert.
"Albert? Albert Mastroianni!?"
"Yes, sir."
"He was in my damn squad."
We talked about 10 minutes before he had to leave.
