Subdeacon Joe Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Pvt. John C Rodrigues, Pawtuckett, R.I., gives two weary paratroopers their first taste of GI food in 37 days. They were captured by the Germans the latter part of D-Day, escaped after several days imprisonment during a night march, living off raw potatoes most of the time. They contacted US forces on July 15th 1944. Left to right: Sgt. Robert D. Henderson, Seattle, WA, and Sgt. Havrill W. Lazenby, Nashville, TN. 505th Parachute Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. July 17th, 1944. #ww2uncovered #WWII #ww2 #worldwar2 #worldwartwo #WorldWarII #dday #Hero #82airborne #wwiihistory #wwii #heroes #lestweforget #ww2veteran #ww2vet #ww2history #usarmy #82ndairborne #usarmyvet #82ndairbornedivision Original description and photo sourced by US Signal Corps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
