Wow, what a great story. At 15 Jim Radford is the youngest known D-Day veteran. He has just releaseda new version of the Shores Of Normandy a ballad he wrote in 1969 to honor those who died in Normandy. Apparently it has made it to #1 on the Amazon singles chart. It's a fitting tribute with moving lyrics as per the link below.
