D-Day Makes Chicago Tribune Front Page

The front page of the Chicago Tribune this morning had and article on D-Day "For D-Day vets, history still vivid" by Mitch Smith.

"Numbers dwindling, but Chicago-area participants recall massive invasion at Normandy that turned tide against Nazis 70 years ago."

There is a big picture of John Kraeger, 89, of Chicago, who was part of a B-24 crew during the D-Day assault on Normandy, France, in 1944.  He is wearing what appears to be his flight jacket with a whole lot of white bombs on a red background, probably indication bombing missions he was on during the war.

Then, below that, there is a black-and-white photo of him wearing the same jacket along with his bomber crew.  He said that the attack was chaotic.  "There (were ) planes going everyplace, and we could see the ships down in the channel firing behind the invasion."
