Jimmy Begay, 89, PFC in the 75th Infantry Division. He landed on June 7th, 1944 in Omaha Beach. He has a vague memory of Europe. "I could not see anything. I just went on. I did not really know what I was fighting for. I said to myself, if I make it, that's good, if I don't, it's okay". Chinle, Navajo Nation.
